-- Massachusetts senate nominee Elizabeth Warren will take the stage behind me tonight.

She is challenging senator Scott Brown for his seat that was the seat that was left -- When Ted Kennedy passed away John Roberts is live in Charlotte with this part of the -- for today hi -- Hey good morning AMR the -- gonna be a very big night for Elizabeth Warren she's got two jobs really wanted to rally the base.

She's very popular with Democrats -- was that the watchdog for the TARP program she started the consumer protection bureau.

But all your job is -- to be to reach out to Massachusetts voters because Democrats so.

That she could unseat sitting senator Scott Brown.

-- nervous yeah.

In fact is asking me I can feel my heart rate going up are you kidding.

Tonight's featured speaker Elizabeth Warren has been given a tall order this election year win back the Massachusetts senate seat held by Ted Kennedy for almost -- a half century.

I'm going to be out there running for the senate in the -- talk about middle class families and I'd like to take this fight for them.

Straight to the floor of the United States senate.

Her campaign strategy and -- -- sheets current occupant moderate Republican Scott Brown to national conservative positions cast him as too extreme for Massachusetts voters Scott Brown's best hope is to run -- Scott Brown independent not Scott Brown Republican.

If he's seen as an independent on Election Day I'll bet you he wins brown all but avoided last week's convention in Tampa dropping in for -- a single day -- refusing to speaking slot.

On the campaign trail you'll rarely hear him utter the word Republican.

Scott Brown Scarborough Republican how many times you -- me -- And so I think when you see Scott Brown Republican I think people -- Republicans at the same time -- is trying to create more and his radical anti business with ads that highlight her support for president Obama's claims -- You didn't build that you.

Your uncle it's to market all of the rest of us -- But Warren is happening to amplify the president's most progressive rhetoric.

Hoping to win back Democrats who -- -- in 2010 if she gets even 85% of the votes cast for Barack Obama she will win the senate seat.

So she doesn't need independence Massachusetts is one of a handful of extremely competitive races that will determine who controls the senate.

The latest poll from democratic leading PPP has -- up by five points but Warren has -- substantial lead in fund raising.

Do you still I didn't tell your -- -- native American there had been some rocky moments in Warren's campaign in May she became a punch line after claiming.

Minority status -- university directory -- learned yeah yeah we even.

I did -- make this love.

And last week she lost a couple of days in the news cycle after her cab driver smacked around a Republican tracker.

Still she remains a real threat to Scott brown and if she can use your convention appearance -- -- to firmly hooked her wagon to President Obama in -- state that is overwhelmingly democratic.

She could certainly make senator Scott Brown's road to reelection a rough -- Martha.

Big night for her John thank you.
