This is why Teddy Kennedy and John Kerry kept winning reelections. They ran local campaigns. The MA voters felt that those two could bring home the bacon, and they have. This is why Brown is appealing, as well. People here don't think about the Senate makeup, and how Brown's reelection will impact national legislature. They see the fisheries ad and think: "This guy is going to take care of our needs and issues".
This is where Elizabeth Warren is failing. She is running a national campaign, and needs to get a bit more into the local weeds by relating her issues to how they will impact us locally. Plus, as I've mentioned above, introduce Elizabeth some more. We've already met Professor Warren.
