(135,425 posts)And money. LOTS of money.
They dismissed Elizabeth Warren. Oh, she'll NEVER be able to beat Scott Brown! He's a regular guy, she's an ivory tower professer! They snickered about her native heritage and claimed, falsely, that she used it to gain EO advantage. They war-whooped, they called her "perfesser" and they acted like bullying little thugs.
And she beat the BVDs off of Regular Guy Naked EX-Senator Scottie in his barn coat and pick-me-up truck.
Oh, and just so the point isn't lost...MA has had a black senator (Ed Brooke), but they never, until Senator Warren was sworn in, have had a female senator. She's a first. And she will be going from junior senator to senior senator in a hurry.
Just because it ain't easy doesn't mean ya don't try.
