The Great Populist Hope, Ctd

Timothy Noah fact-checks Warren's claim about GE paying no taxes. Reihan isn't a Warren supporter, but his interest is piqued:

I guess I see Warren as the best, most articulate defender of a progressive vision that I don’t share. While perusing her “Priorities” page on her campaign website, I see attractive language that I can imagine using to describe policies diametrically opposed to those she supports, which is to say policies that I support. And so I’m intrigued. Warren is a worthy opponent. What remains to be seen is whether or not Scott Brown has the mettle and the political skill to defeat her in a state that is notoriously difficult for right-of-center candidates, including moderates.

Steve Kornacki outlines Warren's path to victory. Simon van Zuylen-Wood looks at the potential liability of her Cambridge persona.
