Sen. Scott Brown runs away from his Wall Street backers (Kevin Lamarque/Reuters)
If you need another indication that Elizabeth Warren has Sen. Scott Brown running scared, look no further
than this this:
"I support President Obama's appointment today of Richard Cordray to head the CFPB," Brown said in a statement. "I believe he is the right person to lead the agency and help protect consumers from fraud and scams."
That is certainly a change from his position last year. Democrats were quick to pounce:
Democrats, unimpressed by Brown's move, were quick to label him a craven opportunist rather than a principled independent. Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesman Matt Canter called it "a shameless political maneuver from a desperate politician.”

Though I have to admit that I'm enjoying the sight of a Republican in full retreat. We don't get to see that too often.
