At Rally, Elizabeth Warren Takes More Aggressive Stance

By JESS BIDGOOD

BOSTON — During a rally on Saturday, Elizabeth Warren questioned the record and credibility of Senator Scott P. Brown, energizing a crowd of more than 700 people as the Senate race in Massachusetts turned more aggressive and pointed.

“Scott Brown isn’t a bad guy, he takes some good votes,” said Ms. Warren, speaking to a crowd at Boston University that appeared to be more than half college students and young voters, joined by middle-aged and older voters from the area. “But when it gets tough, when it comes down to the big votes that matter to working people across the commonwealth of Massachusetts, too often, Scott P. Brown has been on the side of the millionaires and the billionaires.”

The rally comes the same week as both Ms. Warren and Mr. Brown introduced their first attack ads of the campaign. Ms. Warren’s campaign points to Mr. Brown’s record, trying to paint him as inconsistent while conceding that he is as personable as his own campaign has made him out to be.

In her speech, which lasted about 15 minutes, Ms. Warren went through a list of voting groups — including students, the elderly, women and the unemployed — contrasting parts of Mr. Brown’s voting record with her own policy aims.
