Warren raises $3.15M; Brown raises $1.55M

Elizabeth Warren raised more than $3 million in a little more than six weeks to fund her Senate bid in Massachusetts — more than twice the figure pulled in by incumbent Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.).

The astounding figure anchors the notion that Warren will be a formidable candidate both in the Democratic primary and — if she wins the primary — against Brown.

Warren pulled in $3.15 million in total for the third quarter, with more than 11,000 people in Massachusetts pitching in, her campaign announced Monday. Brown raised $1.55 million — almost exactly half of Warren’s total. But Brown, who wielded a hefty war chest heading into his reelection campaign, now has more than $10 million in the bank.

Warren also demonstrated the ability to cast a wide net instead of relying on big-figure donations; only one in 20 contributions were for more than $100, the campaign said.

5. wow thats encouraging

6. ...sounds good, BUT...

At this instant...at this moment...

for Dems, Libs, Progressives to drop the bucks and stand on principle?

It would be a slaughter with the GOPBaggers winning everything.

There needs to be legal and binding change...then the money (or some of it) can come out.

Right now...GO ELIZABETH! Get all the money you can!
