Scott Brown’s MONEYBOMB Explodes! Video: Greta Van Susteren and Brown

“Today, our movement has invested $1,303,302.50 to win on January 19 and I am so grateful for the support and the faith that you have in us!” – Scott Brown’s final late-night Twitter comment  January 11, 2010

With an original goal of raising $500,000 yesterday, the end result of Brown’s MONEYBOMB has triggered a political tremor that will be felt all the way to the White House. The next few days will be interesting. Seeing Martha Coakley on the fault line, Democrats will be sending Bill Clinton and others to re-fit her campaign with rallying rhetoric.

Early on, Mitt Romney’s endorsement of Brown brought national focus to the senatorial special election to be held on January 19th. Following Romney’s example, Mitt Romney Central is zeroing in on this crucial contest between Brown and Martha Coakley. It was a thrill to be part of a large network of bloggers to help with yesterday’s extraordinary fundraising efforts for Brown. Thanks to all who participated on this site to make a memorable day. Now, on to electing the first Republican senator in Massachusetts in 30 years – Scott Brown!

Greta Van Susteren interviewed Brown last night regarding his riveting bid for Ted Kennedy’s senatorial seat in MA:

Van Susteren: Good evening Senator and, boy, this is an exciting race – not just in your state but you’re going to determine what happens in the United States Senate – whether it’s filibuster proof or not.

Brown: Well, that’s true. This race affects everybody in the country. Not only here, obviously, in Massachusetts, but everybody. As the 41st Senator I can stop what’s happening in Washington. All the backroom deals you’re talking about are outrageous.

UPDATE:
Is a Close Call a Victory for GOP?
Politico 11/12/10
By Alex Isenstadt and Jonathon Martin

In the wake of several recent public polls signaling that the Jan. 19 Massachusetts Senate special election is more competitive than anyone expected, both parties are moving aggressively to frame the narrative that emerges the next day.

For Democrats, who have been jolted by the unexpectedly close race for the late Sen. Ted Kennedy’s seat, the message is simple: A win is a win. State Attorney General Martha Coakley’s margin of victory is irrelevant.

For Republicans, however, the story line is more complex. The GOP admits to the uphill nature of the race in heavily Democratic Massachusetts but believes that state Sen. Scott Brown’s got a good shot at winning. More important, they note, a valiant, close loss counts as a win because it will be a sign of deep discontent with Democratic policies even in a blue-state citadel.

“The implications of a Scott Brown victory would be cataclysmic for national Democrats,” said Rick Wilson, a veteran GOP ad man. “If you thought New Jersey or Virginia had national implications for Democrats, then Scott Brown even getting this close to the kill zone sends a message that Republicans can compete anywhere.”

*Martha Coakley has released a new ad attacking Scott Brown. In it, she misspells ‘Massachusetts’.

Update 2: FOX news is reporting that Martha Coakley is attending a fundraiser today in Washington D.C. which includes meeting with health care lobbyists and health care industry lobbyists.
