MASSterList: 'Let's talk Pocahontas' | All in the Family | Mitt's non-admirer

Remember how far Koch brothers' Sock Puppet Scooter Brown got attacking Elizabeth Warren?  Scott Brown made history when he was defeated by 2 WOMEN!  When Republican losers can't address issues, they dredge up old nonsense. The Warren speech: ‘Let’s talk about Pocahontas’

As the Herald notes in an editorial this morning, JFK gave his famous Catholic speech, Mitt Romney his Mormon speech and Barack Obama his racial speech, all three delivered by presidential candidates trying to calm concerns about their backgrounds and bedrock beliefs. But will U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s Native-American speech yesterday, before the National Congress of American Indians, also succeed in making some pause in their criticisms and concerns about her controversial claims of Native-American ancestry? Our gut instinct: The speech will probably help Warren tamp down growing concerns on the left about her Native-American-ancestry claims. But it’s not going tamp down criticism on the right. Exhibit A: Michael Graham’s column this morning in the Herald. She’s going to get swift-boated on this, big time, if she runs for president in 2020. We’re just saying. The Globe’s Matt Viser and Liz Goodwin, the Herald’s Kimberly Atkins and the Washington Post have more on Warren’s speech. Here’s the full text of her address, via MassLive. The Herald’s Hillary Chabot, btw, also thinks the controversy is not going away. MITT DIDN'T LIVE IN MASSACHUSETTS EITHER! NEVER LET A REPUBLICAN AVOID AN OPPORTUNITY TO ATTACK HILLARY CLINTON! AFTER BEING DEFEATED IN MASSACHUSETTS, KOCH BROTHERS' SOCK PUPPET SCOOTER BROWN FLED TO NEW HAMPSHIRE AS A CARPETBAGGER.        Mitt delays Senate announcement after Florida shooting – and after Utah GOP chairman blasts his candidacy   Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney postponed an expected announcement today that he’s running for U.S. Senate in Utah, citing the latest mass shooting in the U.S., this time at a Florida high school, according to The Hill and an Associated Press report at the Herald. But the delay also came after biting criticism of his candidacy from an unlikely source, as Courtney Tanner at the Salt Lake Tribune reports: “The Utah Republican Party chairman blasted Mitt Romney’s anticipated Senate run, hitting him for ‘essentially doing what Hillary Clinton did in New York’ — campaigning in a state he hasn’t spent much time in. ‘I think he’s keeping out candidates that I think would be a better fit for Utah because let’s face it Mitt Romney doesn’t live here, his kids weren’t born here, he doesn’t shop here,’ Rob Anderson told The Salt Lake Tribune in an interview.” Salt Lake Tribune
