According to both Harvard officials and federal guidelines, those statistics are almost always based on the way employees describe themselves.”
MISSOURI: “Sen. Claire McCaskill is set to launch a new television ad across Missouri on Memorial Day that emphasizes her record on veterans issues,” Roll Call reports. “The spot highlights the Democrat’s work to address mismanagement at Arlington National Cemetery and seeks to bolster her credibility as a government watchdog. Visuals of headlines about the scandal at the hallowed burial ground fade on and off the screen over B-roll of gravestones.” But: “National Republicans slammed the ad and accused the vulnerable incumbent of attempting to use the sacrifices of military veterans to score political points.”
PENNSYLVANIA: Problems for the GOP in state politics… Republican Gov. Tom Corbett replaced his chief of staff, appointing him to a judgeship, but it could be the result of political pressure and calls for change. The Philadelphia Inquirer: “Ward's departure from his $154,000 post comes as Corbett has faced increasing pressure to address what some in top state Republican circles believe is the governor's growing image problem. The Inquirer reported Thursday that Corbett's top political advisers, supporters, and fund-raisers had been agitating for him to make changes to his senior staff. Next week, a small group of Republican Party heavyweights, known as the governor's ‘kitchen cabinet,’ is to meet with Corbett in Harrisburg. Speaking on condition of anonymity, four people familiar with plans for the meeting said the ‘kitchen’ group wants to air concerns - such as a feeling that the administration had not effectively sold Corbett's agenda to the public, and that the governor had paid a price in popularity.”
TEXAS: “The story line on the Republican Senate race in Texas is a now familiar one: A veteran politician supported by the GOP establishment is challenged by a young insurgent backed by national conservative groups,” the AP writes. “In this distinctly Texas episode in the saga for control of the Senate, David Dewhurst is the reserved, self-made millionaire and lieutenant governor facing off against Ted Cruz, the feisty son of a Cuban exile who calls himself ‘a proven fighter for liberty because his family knows what it means to lose it.’” Texas’ primary is Tuesday.

No JAS1 yet? I'm surprised given her obsession with Warren.
Kind of like when the tea people Koch republicans used the sacrifices of the over 3,000 who lost their lives on 911 for political points. Sorry National Republicans we haven't forgot how unscrupulous you people can be.
Native American Harvard Law School Professor Elizabeth Warren launched her campaign for the US Senate early last year with some old fashioned retail politics at the Broadway MBTA station in South Boston. Elizabeth was going for the hick vote in Southie. At that time she was going to start wearing stickers that said ‘Hicks for Elizabeth’
The Blue Line MBTA line goes from Harvard Square through South Boston at the Broadway MBTA station. The question is how did she get to the MBTA station? Must have been the Pony Express.
Native American "Professor" Elizabeth Warren (D) then the next day goes by limousine to Cobblestone restaurant in New Bedford at 11 am in the morning. This restaurant is not a blue collar restaurant but a place local politicians from local city hall hang out in the morning. Who is Elizabeth Warren ?
Elizabeth Warren waved off reports yesterday that an ancestor helped round up Cherokees in the infamous “Trail of Tears ?”
Last fall, Warren taught only one class at Harvard Law, yet she enjoys an annual salary of $350,000 — this is in addition to nearly $200,000 in royalties and consulting fees for a lead paint lawsuit ----Who is Elizabeth Warren ?

If she started this great consumer agency in Washington DC why did Obama appoint someone else to run the agency ? Was this a nice way to fire her ?
It's the Red Line that goes through Harvard Square a**hole. If you can't keep that straight shut your hole!
If Professor Elizabeth Warren wants Ted Kennedy's Senator seat why didn't she help the Native American Indians against the Cape Wind project?
Several tribes objected to the Cape Cod wind turbines in Nantucket Sound. Former Sen. Edward Kennedy served notice that the fight over a controversial wind-turbine project off Cape Cod was far from over.
Native American rituals and beliefs have been an obstacle to federal approval of the nations first offshore wind farm.
If Professor Elizabeth Warren is Native American why didn't she come forward to help the religious beliefs of the Massachusetts Native Americans? Elizabeth needs to read about the Legend of Moshup the Giant which is an ancient creation story from the Native American oral tradition....
