Elizabeth Warren is running for Senate. Her pitch:
Ezra Klein says Warren will base her campaign on running against the banks rather than Scott Brown. Greg Sargent claims that "Warren’s run could test the electoral limits of true populism in a way other Dems haven’t been willing to venture." Dreher is excited:
Unless Jeff Jacoby tells me something bad I don’t know about her — and what I don’t know about Elizabeth Warren is a lot — I’m rooting for her. I can understand her holding her fire (for now) against the Democrats, for tactical reasons, but if she wins — and I hope she does — then I hope she goes to DC with both barrels blazing, and with the understanding that the enemy of the financial interests of ordinary Americans is the capture of both parties by Wall Street and the banks. If she goes to DC and gets captured by Democratic partisans, it will be a colossal waste.
