Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren amid growing unrest from party activists and leaders is facing pressure to make a major shift in her television advertising with a new series of commercials that seek to soften her image, while focusing more directly on her GOP rival, Senator Scott Brown.
According to top Democratic leaders in Massachusetts, Warren campaign advisers are considering a new strategy that will be aimed at toning down what those leaders call the preachy tone that has dominated her ads until now. Instead, some of the spots would rely more on the voices of voters from all walks of life describing what Warrens supporters say is the warm personality of a popular university professor. They would also zero in on Brown, acknowledging that while he is a likable public figure, he is not the moderate Republican that he makes himself out to be.
Television ads are considered critical to wooing independent voters in one of the most hotly contested Senate races nationwide.

The pressure on Warren to shift her media strategy comes as Democrats, including some in Washington, have become worried that her commercials give off an unappealing image. Several of the spots that ran through the summer featured Warren speaking directly to the camera, projecting what they termed a know-it-all and even off-putting likeness.
With her animated speaking style and tendency to gesticulate, Warren at times comes across as a scolding advocate, they said, while Browns own ads have helped him polish his image as a likable, Massachusetts-rooted political figure.

Braves that work-um for Squaw with high cheekbones make-um rain in pants because squaw lose-um to vote to Long Knife ... Indian princess need send-um up new smoke signals heap fast!
Good idea. Perhaps a video of her making pemmican in the lodge for her children would take the edge of her public image.
Yes, she should definitely talk about her personal experience. Tell us about Chief Grandfather High Cheekbones, and what it was like as an American Indian at Rutgers Law.
She’s as prickly as a porcupine, and Brown needs to run with that. Any opportunity for one of his people to ask her an incendiary question on camera during an unscripted moment, and who knows what she will blurt out. Which almost always looks awful.
Ya can't polish a turd.
FUN
I’m in NH, but we re in the Boston TV market so we are deluged with Warren’s “the system is rigged against you” ads. She’s a disgrace.
My youngest daughter is a college student and works at The Gap. She said her employment quiz asked questions like Warren’s (to test your honesty).
Questions like:
Is the system rigged?
Is it okay to steal a couple of items from a million dollar company, will they even notice since they make millions?
Do you think people cheated their way to land better jobs?
Etc.

SHE’S GETTING HAMMERED!!1!
What is she going to do? Wash her dirty laundry in front of the camera? I can’t stand listening to woman, everyone of her commercials come across as a woman whining that women don’t grow up to be men and it’s not fair.
I was told her indian name was Dances With Facts.
Sweet Cream? More like sour milk.
Are you my cousin? I remember one of my cousins showing me this back in the 1970’s.
