Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren gets a largely flattering profile in the November issue of Vanity Fair.
“Suzanna Andrews charts the Harvard professor’s emergence as a champion of the beleaguered middle class, and her fight against a powerful alliance of bankers, lobbyists, and politicians,” the lead for the article reads.
One of the most flattering lines compares Warren to a Capra character. “She had become like a modern-day Mr. Smith,” Andrews writes of Warren’s public relations tour while setting up the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. “Giving voice to regular citizens astonished at the failure of Washington to protect Main Street—and what increasingly appeared to be its abandonment of middle-class America.”
