So much with Warren running away with this. The race is still a toss up despite the media going orgasmic over her.


?


The local media is more pro-Brown then pro-Warren and all she  needs to have what it takes to take down Scotty Brown is to have good name recognition to win the race.


I'm mean the national media, particularly MSNBC.

The local media is not more pro-Brown than pro-Warren, unless by "the local media" you mean the Herald, which is popular precisely because it is the only GOP-leaning local news source.

Frankly, it'd be kind of a shock to see MSNBC not "go orgasmic" over Elizabeth Warren.

CNN is neutral and Fox is supporting Brown with less  enthusiasm then they had for him in 2010.

Unless we are talking about Rachel Maddow.

Most of the advantages are in this race are in Warren's favor and Brown's already behind as an incumbent.

Local media will favor Warren on average, but it's not a liberal avalanche despite what the GOP would have you believe.  The GOP party is weak here, but voters regularly vote for GOP governors to balance the Dem-dominated legislature.  However, the 10 member House delegation is all Dem and the Dems have controlled both Senatorships for 30 years until Brown's upset victory in a special election during a GOP tide against a weak opponent.  The trends seem to be going the other way now,  Warren's a better candidate than Coakley was,  Dem machine much stronger than GOP's,  state has a large Dem RV advantage, activists have been showing up in force for Warren to take the seat back, and national GOP is not liked.  Romney's down by over 20 and he's the closest to Obama.  Brown's not a sure loss, but he's behind and most factors going forward seem to work against him.  Maybe he can clobber Warren in debates, but I don't see how he wins otherwise especially if economy continues to improve.
