Elizabeth Warren bashes Wall St. in first TV ad

[Playinghardball]

Source: Raw Story

Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren unveiled her first television advertisement on Sunday, in which the Harvard professor and progressive Democrat condemned the influence of Wall Street on the U.S. government.

Like her previous campaign video announcing that she would challenge Sen. Scott Brown (R) next November, the ad features Warren speaking to the camera.

“I’m Elizabeth Warren,” she says in the ad. “I’m running for the United States Senate and before you hear a bunch of ridiculous attack ads, I want to tell you who I am.”

Last week, the conservative group Crossroads GPS spent $560,000 on an attack ad blasting Warren for sympathizing with the ongoing “Occupy Wall Street” protests. When asked about the ad, Warren said that she had “been protesting Wall Street for years and years.”

1. Smart move on her part. Get out there and get out there early. Take them on.

Head on. She has a compelling story and I think women are going to be particularly affected by her. What I don't know is what the guys will do...surely, they cannot condone Wall St. What is left to Brown to attack her on? Who knows? I am sure, tho, that the repukes are furiously doing research on her to find something, anything, to smear her with. If all they've got is that she teaches at Harvard, well, that's weak tea indeed...

5. Maybe she will

in 2016.

That was a terrific add. Clear and to the point. An excellent introduction to an awesome candidate.

3. Wish I could vote for her

4. Excellent ad...

She spells out exactly where she stands on the issue of Wall Street and why. Given the majority of the U.S. public have a negative view of Wall Street and the banks, her ad will resonate in a positive way, imo.

Now everyone who is able should help her keep it on the air.

8. Wanna bet No Boehner and Can'ter wish they would confirm her

They might have awaken a sleeping beauty who will back them in a corner. She us presidential material and a champion for the lower 90%. I can't vote for her but wish her well.
