And yet at the end of the day

Citizen Warren stomps the remnants of her opposition, makes a rousing speech to the state democratic convention and commences the fall campaign in fine populist style.
And she is still dead even in the polls with Former State Senator Scott Brown despite weeks of snippage at her ethnic heritage from news outlets and pundits who ought to know better.
Psychologically though,  now is the time to strike, make a big populist play for the independent vote "You may not be for me, but I am still for you and eager to look out for your interests", that sort of a thing.
***
Y'know Humble Elias wanted a big primary, with all cohorts within and without the democrat primary duly given their say and consulted. But that is not the way it played out in senate campaign 2012, so be it. If anyone out there is wishing for a do-over, please recall that Massachusetts has a very aggressive congressional delegation, all democrats and full of fight.
Except none of them wanted to fight with Scott Brown.
So here stands Citizen Warren maybe she isn't perfect but she proposes to make a fight of it. I suggest all and sundry suck it up, go home and get your assegais and shields.
