The second quarter numbers are in (via email; here’s a brief Globe story), and they’re even better than last time. Elizabeth Warren is a truly astounding fundraiser.
Warren’s overall take for April through June of this year was a staggering $8.67 million. That’s about $1.7 million better than last quarter. Overall (since the beginning of the campaign), Warren reports well over 40,000 donations from inside Massachusetts. The campaign also reports that June was Warren’s best single fundraising month yet, accounting for $3.1 million. Perhaps most impressive is this: over half the donations were for $25 or less, and 81% were $50 or less.
The campaign now reports $13.5 million cash-on-hand. Amazing.
Expect the right-wing smear machine to kick into high gear as a result of this news – oh, and speaking of that, the Phoenix’s David Bernstein has got his hooks into that crowd big-time, to the evident consternation of our friends at RMG. Don’t miss the articles and the response – they are hilarious. Also, we anticipate a truly epic level of whining from the Scott Brown campaign once he releases his fundraising numbers. Be ready. 🙂

Does this mean you don’t expect the People’s Pledge to hold up?
David says
At least not so far. I think it will hold into the fall; we’ll see what happens then. I’m talking about the out-of-state crazies like breitbart.com.

This fundraising result shows that those ridiculous charges about Warren’s heritage have not hurt her.
While Scott Brown is attacking Elizabeth Warren and her family, she is talking about the issues that matter to the citizens of Massachusetts.
Go Elizabeth!
David says
The polls show voters don’t care. The numbers show donors don’t care. So who actually does care? RMG, I guess, and maybe the Herald … that might be it. 😀

Scott Brown’s obsession with calling her deceased parents lairs only worked on a certain kind of person – and they were never going to vote Democratic anyway.
merrimackguy says
Of course they are already voting for her if they live the in the state.
The question is where the last 5% break and whether some of them care.

really a group? They remind me of the minority Bolsheviks calling themselves the majority and calling the majority Mensheviks a minority.
Any time I ever visit the site, there are two people on there, and I’m one.

and Nobel invented dynamite.
This is just the level of discourse from the right that makes me angry (if anyone is interested) so why encourage it here; why acknowledge the opinions of our friends-with- the-funny-ideas as if they were insightful, thoughtful, valid or, God forbid, true?
