Sen. Elizabeth Warren's debut trip to Iowa ignites voter passion

[Omaha Steve]

COUNCIL BLUFFS — Elizabeth Warren started with a story about her childhood.

Growing up in Oklahoma, her older brothers out of the house, it was Warren and her parents. When her father had a heart attack and was out of work, “the bills piled up” and “we lost the family station wagon.”

Warren remembered her mom getting ready for a job interview, repeating to herself, “We will not lose this house.” Warren’s mother, who at 50 years old hadn’t worked, got a minimum wage job at Sears.

“That minimum wage job saved our home and saved our family,” the Massachusetts senator told a crowd of about 500 at Thunderbowl’s The Gathering Room in Council Bluffs on Friday night.

12. Exactly!! What we need is an authentic progressive who puts the focus on US!!

[Stellar]

3. I remember that she told about that when she first ran for Senator.

I thought she was one of us and really could relate to her.

5. she's an impressive woman

...will make a formidable candidate.

She's passionate and communicates very well. I think anyone else looking to win the nom better take a look at Warren's energy. Like a fit long distance runner, she's got an early lead and may well hold it to the end.

9. It will be good to see her thoughts added to the narrative

whether or not she wins the primary. My prediction is that anyone that strays too far from this sort of message will be pummeled in the primary. Blue dogs better keep their heads down this go-round. The middle class is on the verge of extinction.
