Elizabeth Warren brings no peace to Dems
Boston Herald.com ^ | May 4, 2012 | Joe Battenfeld

Elizabeth Warren’s stumbling efforts to douse the firestorm surrounding her claims of being a Native American minority have raised concerns among local and national Democrats who are questioning her campaign’s competence.

“There’s nobody watching this that doesn’t think she’s in big trouble,” one well-known Massachusetts Democrat said.

Joe Trippi, a prominent national Democratic consultant, told the Herald that while Warren has time to recover, the campaign should have anticipated this issue would surface.

One well-known Massachusetts Democratic strategist faulted Warren and her campaign for failing to put out a consistent message.

The strategist also said many local Democrats are alarmed at the campaign’s failure to contain the damage after the Herald first reported about Warren’s minority status at Harvard in the 1990s, based on claims her great-great-great grandmother was Cherokee.

After first saying she didn’t know anything about reports that Harvard Law had listed her as a minority, Warren’s campaign then said she was “proud” of her Native American heritage, citing records showing she was 1⁄32nd Cherokee.

I think what Warren was trying to say is that she didn’t know she was proud of her Native American heritage. Right Liz?

The Democratic primary for this senate seat does not happen until September. While all the other major Dem candidates have dropped out, it may still be possible for someone else to enter.

Kawliga was a wooden Indian standing by a door.

He fell in love with an Indian maid over in the antique store...

‘One well-known Massachusetts Democratic strategist faulted Warren and her campaign for failing to put out a consistent message.’

Translation: Lie and keep on telling the same lie until everyone accepts its as the truth. Its the democrat way.

That’s the amazing part to me, their total lack of anticipation or reaction to this.

I still think she will win because bashing bankers will prove very popular in this cycle, particularly in such a blue state.

Face it, each and every one of the Kennedy Clan was the biggest phony that you can imagine. Did not stop them from turning Taxachusetts into their fiefdom.

Translation: Stick to promising to hold weekly public floggings of bankers in Haaavahd Yaaahd. That's what we brought you up here for.

Momma always taught me it’s hard to keep your lies straight and not get tripped up.

I’ll never understand this dem fetish with “pride” over something you didn’t accomplish and were simply born with.

Because they never accomplish anything (positive).

They build their foundations on "feelings" so why would anyone expect different?

Question her campaign competence? How about questioning her basic sense of morality...decency....her basic character? Nope,the Rats won't do *that*.”It was Howie Carr's fault” will be the chant (Howie's the hugely popular Boston talk host and columnist).

My Dad,during his career,had many Harvard (and MIT) grads working under him.He always used to joke "you can always tell a Harvard man,but you can't tell him much".

She’s also trying to portray herself as some poor kid from Oklahoma when in fact she drove a sports car to high school. She doesn’t deny it but says the car was beat up.

Maybe she can have a campaign song to the tune of "Indian Lake" ("Indian Liz").

Twice Massachusetts had a chance to vote for a real Native American for Vice President, in 1928 and in 1932, Charles Curtis (R), and both times they refused. A senator has more real power than a Vice President. Maybe they won't object to someone who has such a small percentage of Indian ancestry.
