Well, now, this is interesting. Elizabeth Warren went to Kentucky to campaign for Allison Lundergan Grimes, the Democratic Secretary of State who's looking to unseat Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. The Louisville Courier-Journal reported that "A wide range of people from college students to people in their 80s attended the event at (the University of Louisville), billed as a college affordability rally."

"I'm a little surprised to be here," Warren said, "partly because I'm a little surprised to be in the United States Senate. I am the daughter of a janitor and I ended up in the United States Senate. America is truly a great place."

Intentionally or not, Warren's invitation sends a message. A Southern campaign asked a Massachusetts progressive (and a Harvard professor, no less!) to campaign for it in a close-fought race with one of the country's leading conservatives.

Remember, we're talking about Rand Paul country here. Some smart people have clearly concluded that progressive economic populism is a winning strategy in the South.....
