The thing that struck me about the Warren/Brown debate

[Did I Just Type This]

51. I live in Massachusetts,

I am all for Elizabeth Warren, but the whole "I am part native american" issue is bizarre. There is a very small 2% or less, native american population here. Most of us can not wrap our heads around her comment, and it is mentioned daily on the local circuit. The meme is "if she said that, why should anything else she says have credibility." I will vote for her, but it is just weird, she would have won this in a landslide if she didn't have that one thing hanging over her. Her policies (as well as the GOP policies) are tremendously in her favor. Massachusetts votes for the person with the better credentials and the more open message, Brown lacks both. As a state we don't base our votes on party candidates, it is based on the message and the "proof of abilities" to carry out that message.
