Senator Scott Brown raised $3.2 million in the last three months of the year, boosting his campaign war chest to $12.8 million, the most that any
Massachusetts candidate has accumulated at this stage of a statewide race.
However, today Elizabeth Warren showed that people power is greater than Wall Street power. Her small donors nearly doubled Brown's total:
Oh my, looks like the intellectual foundation of OWS is getting money from Wall Street after all.

Has she filed yet?
DSCC has taken over $40 million from WS over the last 7 years.
I'll wait until this is a source other than a right wing pet blogger. I'm sure Warren will have something to say on this issue. No matter how one slices it, no one could be a bigger Wall Street puppet than Brown. Good riddance to him and I'm fairly certain Warren will replace this favorite of the Wall Street banksters.

Oooh...that WS money is only supposed to go to Republicans, doncha know? Warren has become a Progressive touchstone through her courageous and consistent stance; I think she'll wallop Brown as well.

Come on are you denying that the DSSC is not taking any Wall st bankster money? If Warren is consistent she will refuse to take any money from the DSSC and if she does some of the bankster money was back doored through the DSSC, right? We all know that they keep the palms greased on both sides of the aisle.With that said Warren will be powerless against Wall st except for her populous yapping. I do not even like Brown but lets keep it real.
When I asked who the 'rising stars' in the Democratic party, she was about the only name Dems seemed to be able to produce. If she can't win pretty decisively, say at least 55%, in Massachusetts, how can she expect to run for president in 2016?
Warren cannot even count on the people of Massachusetts to boost her fundraising total. She has to rely on the Democratic machine outside of the state!
Elizabeth Warren’s campaign to reclaim a US Senate seat for the Democrats is drawing on deep out-of-state support, with 61.3 percent of her itemized donations coming from beyond Massachusetts’ borders during the last quarter of 2011.
The Cambridge Democrat, who outraised Republican incumbent Scott Brown $5.7 million to $3.2 million in the fourth quarter, received nearly 20 percent of her listed contributions from California and more than 13 percent from residents of the state of New York, according to a Globe analysis of a campaign finance database released yesterday....
By contrast, Brown received about two-thirds of his support from Massachusetts, which accounted for about 66 percent of his itemized donations. The second biggest source of Brown donations Brown was Texas, at 6.4 percent, followed by New York at 6.2 percent.

That's a bad sign for her. We had a very similar house candidate, a Harvard-educated, committed lefty named Darcy Burner in my CD, which is a formerly R, now swing district east of Seattle. Darcy Burner was the darling of Seattle liberals and got a ton of out-of-district donations.
When election day came, she got trounced by the moderate R incumbent, an ex-sheriff who doesn't even have a college degree.
