@snood,
I have argued with others here on this one. I have a persona/family story which is quite similar.
Our family, at least on my mother's side, was quite certain that we had some significant Jewish ancestry. Cultural similarities and physical appearance of many of us seemed compelling supporting evidence for that family story. And then there was the repeated instances (when Jane and I lived in the Upper East Side of NYC and had our jewelry store there) where Jewish folks automatically assumed that I too was Jewish.
Recently one of us had her DNA researched. No Jewishness for as far as the eye could see.
So I've never seen reason to presume Warren had behaved deceitfully. On the other hand, I have very good reasons to imagine that the right, understanding the political threat she represented and understanding that perceptions of her integrity as a real strong suit, would search for and then promote any character issue they could paint as dishonest. It is what they do. That was/is 100% guaranteed to be in play now.
Earlier, ehBeth suggested that choosing Warren as candidate would be foolish because beth deemed Warren un-electable (charisma problems). I understand her point but I don't subscribe to it. In a Pod Save America podcast I posted the other day
It's here the question of electability came up. As one of the panelists argued (very smart experienced people, three of whom worked in the Obama campaign and administration) nobody knows who will turn out to be electable. The more important question to consider is how that individual will behave in the office. And here, I say, Warren is an exemplary candidate.
