MASSACHUSETTS: “Elizabeth Warren has been a Senate candidate for only a week, but already her campaign has historic significance, at least at Harvard University: She is the school’s first professor to run for federal office in many years and one of very few ever with a shot at winning,” the Boston Globe writes. “Warren’s Harvard link could be an advantage, providing an informal network of influential colleagues, students, and alumni in her bid for Senator Scott Brown’s seat. But her connection to the university could also hurt her. A Harvard line on a résumé appeals to employers but plays less well with some voters.”
NEVADA: A Republican poll (conducted by Glen Bolger) shows Dean Heller (R) leading Shelley Berkley (D) 48%-42%, the Las Vegas Sun’s Ralston reports.
SOUTH CAROLINA: “South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said Monday she can't back up claims that half of the people wanting work at the Energy Department's Savannah River Site failed drug tests and half of the remainder couldn't pass reading and writing tests. Haley said in an interview with The Associated Press that she's learned a lesson and is going to be more careful. ‘I've never felt like I had to back up what people tell me. You assume that you're given good information,’ Haley said. ‘And now I'm learning through you guys that I have to be careful before I say something.’”
WISCONSIN: Tommy Thompson’s officially in the Senate race.

It's good that Gov. Haley finally recognized that one should verify claims before making them as political points.
Speaking as a resident of SC, I really didn't think anyone could be worse than Mark Sanford, but Nikki Haley is proving me wrong every day. This time, at least, she didn't double down on her remarks (unlike her good buddy Michele Bachmann).
I guess she's invoking her "rematch clause"!
I am directing this Comment to the South Carolina article on Nikki Haley. Haley's comments on the those people seeking jobs is another indication of TeaPublican Party trying to SUPPRESS voters in the 2012 Election but an outright BLANTANT LIES on people seeking jobs in a state that is known to still want to return their people to the good old days of Jim Crow.
This is more of the TeaPublicans trying to LIE AND DISTORT the truth that people who are out of work are out of work because they are Freeloaders and don't want to work. It is another ploy to eliminate good people who do want to work.
I hope Ms. Haley is emabarassed to show how MISGUIDED SHE IS ABOUT HER STATE AND ITS PEOPLE.
