There will be excellent articles written about her policy positions but most of the mainstream media will promote the wrestling match, not the ideological match-ups. One of the things I like about Warren is taking shots aren't beyond her and she often attached generic policy thoughts to her attacks. The "Pocahontas" label will not help her. It will hurt her. But each candidate will have something that will hurt.
