After a gushing introduction that likened her to the late, great Ted Kennedy, Elizabeth Warren gave a rousing speech that brought hardcore labor organizers to their feet — and left the already — announced Democratic candidates for Senate with stricken looks on their faces.

Warren, a Harvard professor and consumer advocate, has yet to officially announce plans to run for her party's nomination. But after Monday morning's debut before the Greater Boston Labor Council, her formal entrance seems like just a matter of time.

"I welcome Elizabeth Warren into the race," said Alan Khazei, looking anything but happy about the latest development in the 2012 campaign to defeat Republican Senator Scott Brown. Citing his 25 years of grassroots organizing, Khazei, the City Year co-founder, called the Democratic primary "wide open" and insisted he's in it to stay. Khazei said the competition will be good for Democrats and in the end, "We're gonna beat Scott Brown."

Two other Democrats — Setti Warren, the mayor of Newton, and Bob Massie, a onetime candidate for lieutenant governor — also tried to work the crowded Park Plaza ballroom. But Warren, the keynote speaker, was clearly the star of the day.
