    As opposed to selecting candidates on their spank-bank potential.

    Seriously? Have you watched the Republican primary process?

    And it's Democratic Party.

    Don't be so sure. Despite Massachusetts' strong Democratic lean, Scott Brown is relatively popular there (54% approve, 30% disapprove according to an October WNEC poll). Beating him will not be easy. And with the party having to defend 23 other Senate seats next year, how much money can it afford to spend on this race?

    Who have Republicans fallen in love with during the primaries?

    Maybe they've had a couple of one night stands, but no one has fallen in love.

    And, even those who've succumbed to their base instincts and slept around, are a small minority of the party.

    The love for Warren and others is from the mainstream of the Democrat party.

    And, it's no one night stand. Dems are already drawing hearts with her name and theirs in their black and white notebooks.

    The only thing that's come close on the right is the love for Marco Rubio.

    YF -- again -- Sarah Palin. Undeniable.

    A small minority of the party? The candidate who's going to win your nomination has 24% support.

    But then I have no idea what your point is in all this anyway, other than to copy and paste stories.

    And, uh, yeah. Palin.

    No love lost in Obama administration for Elizabeth Warren.

    There are a lot of very powerful people who seem threatened by her, that's for sure.

    Yeah, you're right. Kathleen Parker's girl-crush on Palin was embarrassing. The fact that she still can't talking about her is sad. Like a lover, who can't get over their ex. Just yesterday, she wrote her another love letter, begging her to come back:

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-palinization-of-the-gop/2011/11/18/gIQAd6gwZN_story.html

    David Brooks, George Will, and Charles Krauthammer would hover around her like nervous schoolboys.

    Just pitiful.

    I see. Because people have soured on her three years later, they weren't gaga in 2008. Got it.

    You should go back and check out her approval ratings in September 2008. This is a person most of the electorate hadn't even heard of a month earlier.

    Anyway ... All this leads into the goal of not discussing Elizabeth Warren's message. Wall street is scared as hell because she is the one person who can talk their language and call them on their bullshit AND hasn't been co-opted into the cabal.

    She seems to be the one person willing to take on Wall Street and big banks in either party.

    Did Parker, Brooks, Will, or Krauthammer ever express love for Palin?

    That's the establishment. The Conservative voices of the New York Times & Washington Post. The most read Conservative columnists, with, what three, Pulitzer Prizes among them.

    Conservatives had a nominee they surely weren't in love with. They didn't like him, and they didn't trust him.

    Every time they tried to cozy up to him, he seemed embarrassed by their actions, pushed them away, and made sure everyone knew he had rejected them.

    It looked like he might even pick Joe Lieberman as his running mate, which would have broken the party.

    Instead, he threw a Hail Mary pass in the direction of Sarad Palin, a back bencher who wasn't even in the media guide. When it looked for a moment like she might catch the pass, for a last minute, come from behind touchdown, Conservatives wee obviously excited.

    When it turned out her performance wasn't enough to win the game, the quarterback and his buddies tried to blame her for the loss.

    Defending the pretty girl against unfair criticism is not the same as falling in love.

    Didn't the Democrat Party nominate a guy like that for President in '08.

    What ever happened to that guy? It's a shame he wasn't elected president.

    Hell, if he had won, he could have relied upon Warren's advice. Maybe he could have put her in his administration in a position of authority, where she could have made a difference.
