Despite a nearly three week flap over her claim of "being Native American," Elizabeth Warren has been unable to point to evidence of Native heritage except for a unsubstantiated thirdhand report that she might be 1/32 Cherokee. Even if it could be proven, it wouldn't qualify her to be a member of a tribe: Contrary to assertions in outlets from The New York Times to Mother Jones that having 1/32 Cherokee ancestry is "sufficient for tribal citizenship," Warren would not be eligible to become a member of any of the three federally recognized Cherokee tribes based on the evidence so far surfaced by independent genealogists about her ancestry. Howie felt she was a rcognized liar if not an indian.

What a war in relation ship with Barack Obama walked out where murdered in the election in Massachusetts. Mom she obviously based it's gonna help Turkish you've run those TV -- she spend than a 1000006 Luke but you know it didn't it certainly didn't help Marcia Coakley did it in 2010 and that. Right before the election he came to was northeastern and I campaign what third she proceeded to lose the election next. Yet actually hurt -- -- Do you think. She. Trying to -- more money on that ship -- that -- back. Now I think shall so I think she's just as she's she's just trying to war right this one out not what she spent all this money on TV just trying to walk. Make sure that you know when there -- any old polls lately but -- be very interesting when we see the polls to see how much this is -- it's been it's been nonstop for three weeks. And it's probably just really devastated her among the independents. And I I I think what she's trying to do was minimize her losses by spend all this goal and an early stage she wouldn't like -- she wishes she didn't have to spend as though I'm sure. But what she's got to do wispy if if she falls which she fell way behind Scott Brown. Which she might do what she wasn't spend all this money on TV she -- should find it harder to raise money later on so she's she's a top spot she has to spend the money even though she wants the war conservative. I don't I don't know law but it's still it's still a close race the the thing is I mean. -- is gonna carry the state and you know people people used to split their ballots local lot more than they do now beaten now days people just. When their and they vote all democratic -- Republican and what Scott Brown's -- hope for.

A lot of that and not the other that's very interesting. Yeah like I. There's a great book that's come out you know Robert Carroll worked on this a series of like I think this is the fourth volume of his biography of Lyndon Johnson and this is the beginning of the to getting out the Dallas in the go any when he gets into the presidency. Digital that Lyndon Johnson was -- was so despised by everybody in the Kennedy administration that win them where it came time for the motorcade to go through Dallas. The senator. From. From Texas Ralph Yarborough would even get in the same car with Lyndon Johnson because he was so why they they they they were having so many petty fights and you know he was dumping on the -- that's how little power vice president at that point. It's you know I mean I'm not a big -- Lyndon Johnson he screwed everything up to a fairly well but. You know he he had you know he didn't deserve to have done to what that Cronkite was trying to do now.

Much relationship to reality you know. I the red Marc Stein's column this weekend any mention her briefly used mainly talking about. Barack Obama. And you know claiming to be from Kenya until they decide to run for president many claim to be from Hawaii. And -- he was comparing it to two Jay Gatsby you know the -- The Great Gatsby the scout -- really -- backgrounds and you'll lied about his background that he wanted to be accepted by LB over rich people and Long Island etc. etc. Inventive history for himself and you know I think even more so than Barack Obama this woman Elizabeth Warren -- invented this history you know with being being being you know dirt poor.
