Brown raises more large gifts from Mass. than Warren

Raises 60% of funds in the state

In contrast to challenger Elizabeth Warren, Senator Scott Brown is collecting most of his high-dollar donations in Massachusetts, according to a Globe analysis of his fund-raising figures.

While 40 percent of Warren’s ­donations of more than $200 came from in state between April and June, Brown raised about 60 percent of his large donations in state.

Massachusetts voters support Scott Brown for election. GO, SCOTT, GO!!!

This is no surprise. Wealthy suburban patricians want nothing to do with Warren they view as a potential threat to their comfy lifestyles. Brown offers the facade of the cloaked crusader, protector of the "job creators" which amounts to nothing more than code for the great untaxed.

Of course Scooter has more large donations. He votes for corporations, not people.

You forgot about the Kochs bankrolling the superpacs for Browbs that got him the seat in the first place. The rsserves in the wings makes the direct contribution count almost irrelevant More important is the issue of who stands for consumer protection from the banks in the wake of 2007 and now the LIBOR scandal. Brown has large Boston finance industry contributions to continue blocking Dodd Frank regulations.

It didn't say most donors, it said most big donors.

... and I'm about to change this story by making a contribution to her campaign!

Interesting that JPMorgan Chase interests are covering their behinds with donations to Scott Brown and to Deeval the Once-in-a-While State House Space Occupier. Also interesting that the Boston Glob does not bother to analyze Lizzy the Bankruptcy Profesor's fund raising to say whether or not she has been filching greenbacks from the pockets of participants in the financial industry. We can fairly well be assured that the oil patch won't donate to her, but finance folks donate to everybody. Maybe the finance industry lobbyist doesn't know the diff between a senatorial wannabe like Lizzy and a sometimes space occupier like Deeval, whose schedule these days is pretty much dictated by his hopes to be the next occupant of the White House... Oh please, blue heron, forbid such a accidentance.

Warren's creation, the Consumer Finance Protection Board, has just released draft forms for consumer loan disclosures. They bury information about APR's and make it hard for consumers to compare loans. So much for transparency under Lizzy Warren and Barack Obama. Look at today's WSJ if you don't believe me.

Would it kill you to write a post with a gratuitous smear?

She is only a major player because she is being foisted upon us from Washington DC as a consolation prize for the consumer affairs job she didn't get. When has Lizzy been in an uncontrolled environment? I've seen her at the July 4th parade and she looked frightened by the common folk. Scott Brown shook hands, had pictures taken and got a loud applause. Lizzy came by protected by a bunch of tshirt wearing campaign workers, stayed away from the crowds and looked like she would faint. I got the impression she didn't want to be there and is regretting being put in this position. I almost felt sorry for her. My kid thought the campaign workers were her body guards and wondered why she was scared. Ahhh, from the mouth of babes. Lets face it, Ms. Warren is out of her league.

Why doesn't the Great American hero tell us how he has avoided active duty during a 34 year National Guard career? How does a guy get to be a Lieutenant Colonel in the MARNG over the course of three wars without ever undergoing a deployment? Did he also miss a lot of National Guard drills and military college education over his brilliant career? We really need to see his 201 File...that may be more important than which rich Republicans and sleazy bankers are contributing to his campaign. While we're at it, how about those college and law school transcripts? Don't think our G.I. Joe Scotty spent a lot of time hitting the books. His lack of willingness to deal with the press in open questioning forums indicates less than great academic skills. Not great at thinking on his feet...maybe a lot of real G.I's are lucky. Yes, Scott, the questions have just begun...

Doesn't surprise me. Warren might as well not be from the state, since the amount of time she spends actually focusing on Massachusetts issues pales in comparison to the time she spends bashing businesses and carrying water for Obama and the national Dems
