Elizabeth Warren just SPANKED Scott Brown

[ejbr]

I have no doubt Sen Brown is a good husband and a good father to his daughters, but this is an issue that affects ALL of our daughters and our granddaughters. And what matters here is how Sen. Brown votes.
So he's gone to Washington and he's had some good votes. But he's had exactly one chance to vote for equal pay for equal work, and he voted no. He had exactly one chance to vote for insurance coverage for birth control and other preventive services for women. He voted no. And he had exactly one chance to vote for a pro-choice woman -- from Massachusetts -- to the United States Supreme Court, and he voted no.
Those are BAD votes for women.

The women of Massachusetts need a Senator they can count on not SOME of the time, but ALL of the time. I want to go to Washington to BE THERE for ALL of our daughters and ALL of our granddaughters.

This one really matters. There is a LOT at stake here...

... And I want to be blunt. We should not be fighting about equal pay for equal work and access to birth control in 2012. These issues were resolved years ago until the Republicans brought them back.

1. So soft-spoken.........and so damned right on.

[DollarBillHines]

2. "You have another 20 seconds." "No, no, I think that says it all."

That actually brought tears to my eyes and I am a 60-year-old man.

I just wanted to hold her - real tight.

Damn, I wish I could vote for her.
DBH

[LibGranny]

20. I wish that also! Living in a

red state I'm stuck with idiots (whom I never vote for) but still!

[Iwillnevergiveup]

51. Well, you can vote here at an online poll

Moved it up from downthread - Quakerboy #22

[rhiannon55]

62. I just voted

They still have him ahead 51 to 47. If it hasn't been, this link should be posted as an OP so lots of DUers will see it and vote. Everything helps!

[efhmc]

3. That last paragraph sums it up perfectly.

[elleng]

4. She's GREAT!

GOTTA happen!!!

[DemzRock]

5. If he was Romney he would have said, "I voted yes! You lie!" n/t

[Cha]

19. You got that right.

[Blanks]

53. Then we would all spend a week...

Wailing and gnashing teeth about how she lost.

If recent events are an indicator of our behavior.

[RBInMaine]

6. She did VERY WELL in this debate.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

7. She's getting better and better every debate

Scotty is a lightweight. Scotty is toast.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. I just sent her some money.......this is such an important election!

I am proud to support her.

[Scuba]

12. Thank you!!!

[AFD]

29. Thanks

Thank you Peggy!

[calimary]

34. Welcome to DU, AFD!

Glad you're here and we NEED you! This isn't a lock yet.




Now get to work.

[FourScore]

9. she is just wonderful. n/t

[spooky3]

10. I disagree with her on one point.

The equal pay for equal work issue has NOT been resolved. That is why the Lily Ledbetter Act and other acts (Paycheck Fairness) are needed.

[abelenkpe]

11. damn!

"We should not be fighting about equal pay for equal work and access to birth control in 2012. These issues were resolved years ago until the Republicans brought them back."

I love Elisabeth Warren! Could not have said it better.

[Cha]

18. I know..what an Excellent Reminder! HELLO!

[MoonchildCA]

13. Ted Kennedy's seat

Needs to be in her hands. The "liberal lioness."

[Voice for Peace]

24. a lioness, yes I think so.

She seems very gentle humble and meek, but has
such a power of honesty intelligence and passion
for what is right and true, and the ability to stand up
and speak for it, and walk her own talk -- makes her
POWERFUL>

This is the power of the future, I believe this deeply.
It's the same with Obama.

Cheat and Deceit are going down.
Lie- and War-mongering are losing their power.
The human heart is gaining.

[calimary]

35. Exactly! And Welcome to DU, MoonchildCA!

She is the true heir to Ted Kennedy. That other empty suit is nothing but a poseur in what some people consider a nice package. And whenever I hear him speak, he sounds like a pretty dim bulb to me.

Elizabeth Warren should be in the Senate. If for NO OTHER REASON - to make people like mitch mcconnell and rand paul miserable.

[SunSeeker]

14. Love her!

Such poise and eloquence. I would just be hissing spit at Brown.

[Cha]

17. That was my first thought!

[Cha]

15. BRILLIANT! Thank you, Elizabeth! That is totally

an Awesome way to Frame It!

[Orbit1]

16. Stunning ... Outstanding!

THAT is a women of the future. And it looks better and better .....

[calimary]

37. Welcome to DU, Orbit1!

Couldn't agree more - she IS a woman of the future.

Glad you're here and we need you - to help us lock this thing down.





Now get to work.

[Voice for Peace]

21. This is what integrity looks like

This is what a clean conscience looks and sounds like.

[arcane1]

30. EXACTLY!!

[JitterbugPerfume]

22. she is just wonderful,

I am so proud of her.

[Orrex]

23. Am I shallow for thinking she's hot?

If so, then color me shallow!

What a brilliant champion for the middle class and for the 99% in general.

Can I vote for her in PA?




Please?

[arcane1]

31. I have had a tremendous crush on her for a few years now...

and every time I hear her, that crush grows

[calimary]

33. Hey, smart is SEXY! I fell for Mr. Spock instead of Captain Kirk, like most of the other girls did.

'Cause he was smart!

BRAIN over brawn.

[hootinholler]

36. With a little luck we can all vote for her in 2016 n/t

[NBachers]

25. It is powerful to hear truth spoken so plainly, so precisely, and so eloquently- Five bucks more

for Elizabeth Warren

[davidpdx]

26. Great to hear

I didn't watch the debate, but have been pulling for Warren and contributed to her campaign. Would someone put in a request to sanitized Brown's seat after he leaves, it stinks like shit.

[calimary]

38. It's not brown's seat. He's a mere squatter until the rightful occupant arrives.

That would be Elizabeth Warren.

[davidpdx]

46. Well if he was squatting there

(and yes I mean that as toilet humor)

I'd definitely disinfect it. ewww!

[calimary]

64. Yeah, I know what you mean! I'd get out the sacred sage and do some smudging.

Light the sage, say prayers, and cleanse the office or the building of evil spirits.

We actually have that white sage growing wild behind our house. That's the incense that tribes here in So Cal use in their sacred ceremonies. I lit some in a little private smudging ceremony when bush/cheney finally left office - just to dispel some of the leftover evil.

[JDPriestly]

27. Elizabeth Warren, strong and caring and smart.

What more could you want?

Massachusetts, if you don't elect Elizabeth Warren, you deserve what you get, and it isn't going to be good because Brown does not come close to having the integrity of Warren. And Massachusetts and the entire nation need integrity in Washington, especially now.

I hope Warren carries the election with a large margin.

[LittleGirl]

39. well put, spot on. wish I could vote for her n/t

[FailureToCommunicate]

66. Right! Massachusetts needs integrity...and a woman in Congress!

The balance of power in the Senate is no small thing.

We're working to make that happen.

http://elizabethwarren.com/

[benld74]

28. THAT is the MAIN issue with the GOP

They ONLY think about the NEAR future!

[quakerboy]

32. That's the exact term I used.

The online poll could use some du love, though

http://www.masslive.com/politics/index.ssf/2012/10/who_won_the_brown-warren_debat.html

[lastlib]

44. Done!

Brown Stain - 53.44% ( )
Warren - 46.56%

Help out, DUers!!

[oldhippydude]

40. welcome aboard.... new folks

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

41. More $$$ coming her way from ME!! :)

[AzDar]

42. She is going to be a marvelous Senator.

Go Elizabeth!!

[kellytore]

43. I so hope that Obama shows this kind of emotion next week!

[WallaceRitchie]

45. That was HUGE

That sequence of "one chance... he voted no" may be the defining moment in this race. Warren CRUSHED him tonight.

[thucythucy]

47. I just hope President Obama and his debate coaches

take a good hard look at how a true Democrat mops the floor with a two-faced, flip-flopping, pretend-to-be-all-things-to-all people, lying-ass Republican like Romney.

Please President Obama, please please please fight this next debate like the fate of our entire country, culture, society is at stake. As if LIVES are at stake.

Because they are.

[DianaForRussFeingold]

48. K&R Brilliant!

Poll:
Who won Springfield's Brown-Warren debate?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251131709
Best debate, ever!

[glinda]

49. You go Elizabeth!

[Iwillnevergiveup]

50. Poll now showing

Brown 52.59% 1,041 votes

Warren 47.45% 940 votes

[Iwillnevergiveup]

52. Only 70 votes separate them - VOTE NOW! n/t

[LynneSin]

54. Scott Brown will probably reply back 'But she says she's part Native American'

He is so fricking LAME!

[byoung6]

55. I love Elisabeth

I hope that all the people in Mass. are seeing what a quality person Ms. Warren is. I have great hopes that she will win and help the President in the next term!

[ProfessionalLeftist]

56. I want her for PRESIDENT

Someday.

[onehandle]

57. 2016. nt

[Ikonoklast]

58. One full term in the Senate, first.

And then let's see.

[onehandle]

59. See: President Barack Obama. nt

[Ikonoklast]

60. Who also had years of previous legislative experience under his belt before elected U.S. Senator.

Walk first, then run.

[onehandle]

61. See: President George W. Bush. nt

[Ikonoklast]

63. Only proves that with enough money, you can get a doorstop elected into office.

[BlueDemKev]

65. Warren should have been our candidate in the 2010 special election

Instead of that JOKE Coakley.

[Political Troublemkr]

67. Coming Collapse of the Middle Class

I just want to remind anyone out there of Ms. Warren's speech at Berkeley, The Coming Collapse of the Middle Class, presented back in '08:
