it's not at all surprising; they're both liberal republicans. what i know about elizabeth warren suggests that she was probably a goldwater girl, too.

"I was a Republican because I thought that those were the people who best supported markets. I think that is not true anymore." - elizabeth warren, explaining her decision to switch parties in her....40s.

"I was a Republican at a time when I felt like there was a problem that the markets were under a lot more strain. It worried me whether or not the government played too activist a role."- elizabeth warren

i think the actual truth is that elizabeth warren, like barack obama, has not been properly vetted. and, the results of promoting her will be just as disappointing.
