And still has a 50% approval rating.

I think Warren needs to hit Brown harder in tonight's 2nd debate.

Connect him to Romney, Rove & McConnell.

There's an article out in the Boston Globe today by Noah Bierman that Warren should use - it demonstrates how Brown doesn't tell MA voters that when he is fundraising with GOP groups he boasts about being the one to block Obama & the Dems in the Senate, yet when he is MA he pretends to be pro-Obama.

OCTOBER 01, 2012

Republicans may have their best chance of winning a Massachusetts congressional seat in nearly two decades with Richard R. Tisei pulling six percentage points ahead of Representative John F. Tierney in a new Boston Globe poll.

Tisei, a former state senator from Wakefield, leads Tierney, a Salem Democrat, 37 percent to 31 percent among likely voters, with 30 percent undecided.

The high percentage of undecided voters reflects the electorate’s lack of knowledge of Tisei as well as Tierney’s relative unpopularity, even among members of his own party, said Andrew E. Smith, the director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, which conducted the poll.

“Tierney is vulnerable, very vulnerable,” Smith said. “He’s in really rough shape to pull this out, by historical standards.”

The findings suggest that unflattering attention from the illegal gambling ring that was run by Tierney’s brothers-in-law has taken a serious toll on the congressman’s reelection campaign, Smith said.

He's got his own campaign. Warren is a big girl. She can handle it.
