EXCLUSIVE: Republican Scott Brown has raised at least one million dollars every day this week
Knowledgeable sources in Massachusetts tell The Daily Caller that Republican candidate for Senate, Scott Brown, has raised at least $1 million dollars every day this week, most of it online.
Although Brown’s campaign touted Monday’s money-bomb fundraiser that brought in $1.3 million dollars, the campaign declined to confirm totals for other days this week.
“I can’t comment on figures,” said spokesman Felix Browne.
While poll numbers show a Republican win is plausible in the state where Sen. Ted Kennedy long served, neither the RNC nor NRSC has sent much money north. Given the fundraising success Brown apparently has had with grassroots supporters over the Internet, cash infusions from the national Republican party may not be necessary.
Brown will face Democrat Martha Coakley in the special election for the Massachusetts Senate seat on Tuesday.
UPDATE – 5:26 P.M. – President Obama has recorded a video in support of Coakley, citing “opponents of change … pouring money into” Massachusetts as the reason why the race has been moved from leaning Democratic to a toss up Thursday by both the Cook Political Report and the Rothenberg Political Report.
Obama says in the video that the health care reform bill “and other fights will rest on one vote in the United States Senate.”
“That’s why what happens Tuesday in Massachusetts is so important,” he says.
(16 votes, average: 4.00 out of 5)

It’s going to be a 3-day weekend and the weather report for Massachusetts looks pretty good. I sure hope plenty of volunteers get out there and knock on some doors. Plus, arrange for buses to pick up the elderly, the homeless, the Mickey Mouse, the Donald Duck and the whole Loony Toon gang. Every vote counts!!!
Was on Tw!tter last night following some the massen race and there was a poster “outing” Brown supporters who were NOT from Mass. Make no mistake, this is a National Election. Our system of checks and balances is only efficient if the two houses, the executive, and the judiciary are not in, as the left commonly uses, lock step with eachother.
I am not from Mass…in fact I am in actually in Iraq right now (one of those “Stuck” like J Kerry suggested), but I am energized and encouraged by this election. Martha Coakley very well could pull this off. Even though it only takes one election to turn the tide of local politics, a seat held for over 40 years in one night is hardly normal. If she does not win by at least 10 points this will indeed be the “Scott” heard around the world.
I wish him the best. We are all Mass citizens this week.
As an aside, for all those trolls (like me) who waltz over to HP, I have never seem more vitrol and hatred in my life…just an observation.
Scott Brown moving ahead in some polls!!!

Every time I watch Obama give one of these speeches I can’t help but think….. WTF!
At a time when we are in two wars and our whole financial backbone has been broken, people decide to vote for a rookie. I guess we deserve the consequences.
Joedoe, I agree with you on the WTF. I’d rather mute the TV or turn it off and get a recap of the speech later on….
Just take every sentence or statement that comes out of the POTUS’s mouth and rotate it 180 degrees and you might come somewhere near the truth.
