“It went viral,” Felix Browne, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Republican told The Daily Caller. Help from former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, both Republicans who sent emails to their supporters encouraging them to donate, helped bring in dollars from across the country.
Rob Eno, a Brown supporter and one of the operators of blog RedMassGroup.com, said he helped raise over $12,000 for the money bomb off his Web site with an application for visitors to donate to Browns campaign. The Brown enthusiast donated $50 to the campaign minutes after the money bomb began early Monday morning.
“I’ve been involved in Massachusetts politics for 10 years, and I’ve never seen anything like it,” Eno said of the grassroots involvement for Brown.
