Reuters - "Warren leads Brown in Massachusetts Senate race" - SWEET!
The corporate media is going to work overtime to try to pain Scott Brown as some sort of moderate even as he votes in lockstep with the right wing.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/09/20/us-usa-campaign-warren-idUSTRE78J5GG20110920



Elizabeth Warren, a prominent consumer advocate and former official in President Barack Obama's administration, narrowly leads Republican Senator Scott Brown in a poll released on Tuesday, days after announcing her run for his Senate seat from Massachusetts.

The Democrat Warren, a Harvard Law School professor and Wall Street critic, leads Brown by 46 percent to 44 percent in a survey taken September 16 to 18 by Public Policy Polling.

The survey involved 791 Massachusetts voters and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent, suggesting Warren and Brown are in a dead heat.

Republicans are eager to hold the seat Brown won in a huge upset over a Democratic candidate in January 2010 after the death of longtime Democratic Senator Edward Kennedy in August 2009.

4. Yet, Brown Is Portrayed As An Independent or Moderate. 83% Is Independent?
Heck, maybe he will start using "maverick" in every other sentence sort of like another faux independent Republican.

5. It was interesting to hear her mentioned on the McLaughlin Group this morning
No less than John McLaughlin himself, in the final segment of predictions, predicted that she'd lose to Scott Brown. Since the Warren-Brown race doesn't seem to be on anybody else's political radar, is it possible that McLaughlin has a line on what the banksters plan to do to demonize her?

8. I'm honestly thinking, if I were truly non-political and just
wanted to vote for the best person, listening to the two of them it wouldn't even be a contest. She'd get my vote.

And wow, this is Massachusetts!

I sure hope he's wrong in his prediction, but I've no doubt the banksters will be ruthless in their attacks and lies.

9. They will
So far, they've been successful in all their goals relating to her. The President has pretty much gone along with their agenda when it comes to Warren, and that's when we had both houses of Congress.

10. McLaughlin Is A Conservative. Of Course He Predicts Warren Would Lose
He wants her to lose.

11. Of course he does
But why would he mention her so early in the game? She hasn't even been nominated to the ballot yet. I'd expect him to make this prediction a year from now, but why now?

My intuition is that he's got a line into the banksters that have kept Warren down for the last year or two, the ones who really despise her. They've hinted to McLaughlin that they're going to spend big bucks to smear her mightily, and he simply cannot control himself with the glee of that scoop.
