Democratic Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren showed off her blue-collar appeal Sunday, pretending to ride a motorcycle during a campaign stop while several blue jean-clad bikers looked on with subdued enthusiasm. The feminist political organization Emily’s List, a major Warren supporter, posted the photo of Warren’s ride to Twitter Sunday afternoon.
William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection compared the photo to the famous shot of onetime Massachusetts governor Michael Dukakis riding in an Army tank during his presidential campaign against George H.W. Bush in 1988.
Popular Republican Senator and Army National Guard Colonel Scott Brown, meanwhile, released a new campaign ad Monday in which he rides his pickup truck and tells voters the story of his blue-collar Massachusetts youth.
