Thanks TC & Freemoney.
And yeah, that was a joke about her as a national candidate. I also wonder how the timing worked out on the funding and whether it means / portends anything. (i.e. did Brown's money come in at that ratio the entire campaign, was the ratio lower during the start of his campaign w/ national money coming in when it looked like he might actually win, etc).

(i.e. did Brown's money come in at that ratio the entire campaign, was the ratio lower during the start of his campaign w/ national money coming in when it looked like he might actually win, etc). He came on so fast and really out of nowhere. My guess would be that the national money was a factor all along. I don't think that's a phenomena specific to Scott Brown though - I bet if you look at contested races around the country - Al Franken vs. Norm Coleman, Murkowski vs. that guy with the beard, Bennet vs Buck - all of them probably feature primarily national funding. Alvin Greene might be the exception to that rule. |

No one's going to comment on Warren listing herself as a Native American based solely on family legend?

After six decades of searching, they finally found some documentary evidence that her Great-Great-Great-Grandmother was a Native American!! bostonherald.com/news/us_politics/view.bg?articleid=1061128421Which prompts the humorous comment of the morning (assuming Warren's latest claim is true) George Zimmerman is still four times as black as Elizabeth Warren is Indian. |

Ahh, so the family is right. Still odd that she was allowed to claim Native status without any record. Seems to be a big loophole that could be exploited. Also, can someone explain how affirmative action contributes to greater diversity if it considers someone like Warren, who grew up in a middle class white family, as someone who provides exposure to Native American views and culture? |

Warren is the outlier. Most who have taken advantage of such programs, like me, do not fall into her category. |

www.ocregister.com/opinion/great-352668-warren-elizabeth.htmlHallelujah! In the old racist America, we had quadroons and octoroons. But in the new post-racial America, we have – hang on, let me get out my calculator – duoettrigintaroons! Martin Luther King dreamed of a day when men would be judged not on the color of their skin but on the content of their great-great-great-grandmother's wedding license application. And now it's here! You can read all about it in Elizabeth Warren's memoir of her struggles to come to terms with her racial identity, Dreams From My Great-Great-Great-Grandmother. Alas, the actual original marriage license does not list Great-Great-Great-Gran'ma as Cherokee, but let's cut Elizabeth Fauxcahontas Crockagawea Warren some slack here. She couldn't be black. She would if she could, but she couldn't. But she could be 1/32nd Cherokee, and maybe get invited to a luncheon with others of her kind – "people who are like I am," 31/32nds white – and they can all sit around celebrating their diversity together. She is a testament to America's melting pot, composite pot, composting pot, whatever. Just in case you're having difficulty keeping up with all these Composite-Americans, George Zimmerman, the son of a Peruvian mestiza, is the embodiment of endemic white racism and the reincarnation of Bull Connor, but Elizabeth Warren, the great-great-great-granddaughter of someone who might possibly have been listed as Cherokee on an application for a marriage license, is a heartwarming testimony to how minorities are shattering the glass ceiling in Harvard Yard. George Zimmerman, redneck; Elizabeth Warren, redskin. Under the Third Reich's Nuremberg Laws, Ms. Warren would have been classified as Aryan and Mr. Zimmerman as non-Aryan. Now it's the other way round. Progress!

The only thing funnier is her claim to minority status.
