Progressives turn from Obama to embrace Elizabeth Warren
Washington Post ^ | 07/15/2014 | Robert Costa

SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. — Populist Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) got a rock-star reception during a standing-room-only campaign rally here Monday, as hundreds of liberal activists cheered her broadsides against corporate interests and voiced hopes that her presence might shift the political winds in an increasingly Republican state.

The rally on behalf of Senate candidate Natalie Tennant was the latest in a string of recent Warren appearances in red and blue states alike, where Democratic base voters have embraced her fiery message as an envoy to working-class voters frustrated with both Wall Street and the Obama administration.

“Our job is to fight for the families of America,” Warren said, speaking to a packed ballroom at the Clarion Hotel in West Virginia’s eastern panhandle. “Stitch up the tax loopholes so that millionaires and billionaires pay at the same tax rate as the people in this room.”

Warren stumped in Kentucky late last month for Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes, who, like Tennant, is running for the Senate in a state easily won by Republican Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election. Later this week, the freshman senator and former Harvard professor will be in Michigan supporting Democratic Senate candidate Gary Peters.

Warren also has visited Oregon, Ohio, Washington and Minnesota this year and has made dozens of e-mail solicitations on behalf of Democratic Senate colleagues — an unusually aggressive effort by a senator who has repeatedly denied interest in a presidential campaign. In Kentucky, Warren raised more than $200,000 for Grimes, who is running against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R).

She’s a Communist witch who’s campaign is funded by bankers.

She’s black enough for Massachusetts.

She’s the perfect Democrat candidate and will probably win if she runs.

Are you referring to the primaries or the national election?

LOL.

Shepherdstown is a little slice of Berkeley CA dropped down into otherwise relatively sane Jefferson County. It's all full of stinking hippies, and leftists, and queers.

Democrip voters are a lost cause. Only the full collapse, starvation, disease and chaos could possible awaken their dead souls ... but even that is a stretch for these soul dead fools.

Rand Paul (or some other ‘pub non-RINO) should take up his dad’s narrative against the Federal Reserve. Otherwise, Warren is going to own the financial reform issue for the dems.

I wonder if they were cheering her lucrative role in the mortage scam industry or her scamming the affirmative action system to elbow other whites out of jobs in favor of a fake Indian.

“”an envoy to working-class voters””

In a pig’s eye.... why can’t they spell it out - HOW MUCH MORE AM I GOING TO GET IF YOU BECOME PRESIDENT? The working class didn’t put bozo in office.

If Obama has been a wimp as commander-in-chief, imagine what that bespeckled grandmother would be like?
