(Newser) – Last time around, we had Elizabeth Warren tied with Scott Brown in their Massachusetts Senate race. Now, after the Democratic convention with a speech by Warren, a new poll has her surging 6 points past Brown among likely voters and 12 points among registered voters, the Springfield Republican reports. Brown maintains a strong 22-point advantage with independents, which means Warren is likely riding a wave of post-convention enthusiasm among Democrats. (Or maybe the negative ad helped.)

Warren has no native american heritage, except for in her own head. Why is it that she has spent a lifetime gaming the world and he life time lie has no impact on her credibility?

Bob Woodward said that if we go into a deeper recession it will be Obama's fault because that's how history will interpret it.  Then he went on to say that it's Obama who won't meet with Republicans.  Has Woodward been in a coma since 2008?  Maybe Woodward should give us his economic plan for the country if he thinks it's so easy to work with today's extreme Republicans.  On Morning Joe Woodward said that Mitch McConnell has said that he (McConnell) wants to work with The President.  McConnell doesn't want to work with The President.  McConnell's highest priority to get Obama out of The White House.   There are enough historians & writers who could write volumes on Grover Norquist & the extreme right evangelicals.  Bob Woodward is a "tool" for the new extreme right who call themselves Republicans & Scott Brown is one of their lap dogs in Congress..

Brown Voted Against Ensuring Women Are Receiving Equal Pay. In November 2010, Brown voted against the Paycheck Fairness Act. Brown voted against a motion to invoke cloture on a motion to proceed to a bill that would seek to provide comparable wages for women by requiring that employers show that any pay disparity is job-related and not based on gender. This bill passed in the House almost two years ago. The motion was rejected 58-41. [USA Today, 11/17/10; S 3772, Vote 249, 11/17/10]
