Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren amid growing unrest from party activists and leaders is facing pressure to make a major shift in her television advertising with a new series of commercials that seek to soften her image, while focusing more directly on her GOP rival, Senator Scott Brown.
According to top Democratic leaders in Massachusetts, Warren campaign advisers are considering a new strategy that will be aimed at toning down what those leaders call the preachy tone that has dominated her ads until now. Instead, some of the spots would rely more on the voices of voters from all walks of life describing what Warrens supporters say is the warm personality of a popular university professor. They would also zero in on Brown, acknowledging that while he is a likable public figure, he is not the moderate Republican that he makes himself out to be.
Television ads are considered critical to wooing independent voters in one of the most hotly contested Senate races nationwide.

The pressure on Warren to shift her media strategy comes as Democrats, including some in Washington, have become worried that her commercials give off an unappealing image. Several of the spots that ran through the summer featured Warren speaking directly to the camera, projecting what they termed a know-it-all and even off-putting likeness.
With her animated speaking style and tendency to gesticulate, Warren at times comes across as a scolding advocate, they said, while Browns own ads have helped him polish his image as a likable, Massachusetts-rooted political figure.

Rumor has it that this fine young disciple of Liz's will be featured in her newest ads.
Her retooling would result in a candidate of a different feather I guess.
Theres a softer side to this strident, scolding, nasty b**ch?
