I Googled Elizabeth Warren's speech and found not one, but 3 Politico articles on how she is the heart of progressives at this event. Then there are the horserace articles about whether Warren will take on Hillary Clinton in the Presidential primaries. It's just sad that you have to provide some juicy theater for the press to cover you.

Scott Brown keeps hammering Elizabeth Warren's Native American claim. And I mean hammering. Here's the thing. Yeah, it's embarrassing, but is that really all he's got? He brings it up constantly, and I'm not sure why. Is there a large Native American vote he's wooing? ;-) Seems to me this line of attack isn't going to change many votes, and yet it's almost all you hear about when Scott Brown speaks. Sure, take the shot, toss it in occasionally, but building your entire campaign around it? I just don't get it. Brown is obviously very offended by Warren's Native American claim, but then his campaign goes and does this:
Staffers for Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) reportedly participated in war-whoop sounds and “tomahawk chop” gestures at supporters of Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren, mocking Warren’s claimed Native American ancestry.
