And denounce Brown for his vile comments that she didn't look 'brown' enough to have Native heritage, or however he put it.

Absolutely unacceptable and I don't think I've ever heard a Senator say that before.

I'm disappointed that she didn't forcibly go after him on this. Plus, he's the biggest Corporate Welfare Queen, receiving more in Wall Steet donations than any other senate candidate. He tried to tie her to corporations but she didn't hit back hard enough on this issue. I was disappointed in her performance. She needs to be a bit more assertive and compelling. Too professorial and soft spoken. Unfortunately Scott Brown is a smooth talker and a lot of people are fooled by his phony image.

She came across as sincere and genuinely caring of the people she wants to represent. Sincerity trumps assholery every time. Besides Brown offended everyone with his accusations and innuendos about her. The fact that he attacked her right out of the gate and she didn't get on the defensive is not lost on anyone who watched. No one is going to dislike sincerity when they see it. Especially caring sincerity.

Dr. Warren's comments really struck me. I had several family lore stories that I was seeking to confirm, and along the way found that there was a kernel of truth, but that the real story was different than the family lore.

I really connected with what Dr. Warren said about her family and what her parents told her.
