Jackpot: Brown raised a million dollars a day every day this week

posted at 6:00 pm on January 14, 2010 by Allahpundit

Yeah. Not just on Monday when that million-dollar moneybomb detonated. Every damned day this week.

The first ever moneycarpetbomb?

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.

Here’s the donation page in case you haven’t gotten some of this action yet. Whatever happens next week, MKH (as usual) and Kos (for once) are right: Brown’s online haul from grassroots conservatives is groundbreaking stuff for the GOP, and don’t think the base’s populist heroes — starting with our friend Mr. Rubio — aren’t keenly aware of it.

Below, via Ace, an amusing goof on Coakley’s moronic campaign ads from radio host Michael Graham. If you believe Geraghty’s sources, the sheer nastiness and stupidity of the attacks could also be helping Brown out. Exit question: How much of Brown’s haul is coming from “Reagan Democrats”? Ace raised the point on Twitter that while high Democratic turnout is, of course, bad, a fair number of those Democrats may be primed to cross over due to exhaustion from the same old same old Massachusetts crap after so many years. PPP’s poll claimed last weekend claimed that Brown was pulling 17 percent of Dems compared to just six percent of Republicans breaking for Coakley. How many of those 17 percent are kicking in with cash?

Hey, Steele. This is how it’s done. Brown probably has almost as much in the bank as the RNC.

And yet Dems are still out spending 2 to 1. And may still lose. Brown clearly has momentum, hope it keeps up for a few more days. Shock and awe if he pulls it off.

A lot? As an illustration, Cavuto had a fantastic segment today with 2 guests commenting on the latest Chavez-like scam from the Obamao Administration, the “Financial Crisis Responsibility Fee”. They were just ordinary people (I don’t recall if they were identified as “tea partiers”) not so-called “experts”. One of the two was a “registered Democrat” and he really laid into Obama and his class warfare attack the rich games. The Republican, a woman whose name I didn’t catch, was terrific too. It was a stand up and cheer kind of segment.

It’s totally unfair (if not unconstitutional). Remember that the unions who were handed over assets that belonged to senior bondholders, and ho begged for tarp money, aren’t being asked to pay any tax.

But what really gets my goat is the abject hypocrisy of an unaccountable bureaucracy who caused the problem in the first place asking the private sector to pay an “accountability fee”. Why shouldn’t, say, Barney Frank and Maxine Waters and Janet Reno and all the Dems in Congress have to pay a “fee”? How about Barack who is squandering our tax dollars and making a horrible mess out of everything?

But hey, I’ll make it really easy for Obama: If you’re a Democrat or contributed to his campaign you pay no taxes and get to keep your Medicare Advantage. Everyone else pays up.
