Although Brown’s campaign touted Monday’s money-bomb fundraiser that brought in $1.3 million dollars, the campaign declined to confirm totals for other days this week.
“I can’t comment on figures,” said spokesman Felix Browne.
Given the fundraising success Brown apparently has had with grassroots supporters over the Internet, cash infusions from the national Republican party may not be necessary.
Brown will face Democrat Martha Coakley in the special election for the Massachusetts Senate seat on Tuesday.
UPDATE – 5:26 P.M. – President Obama has recorded a video in support of Coakley, citing “opponents of change … pouring money into” Massachusetts as the reason why the race has been moved from leaning Democratic to a toss up Thursday by both the Cook Political Report and the Rothenberg Political Report.
Obama says in the video that the health care reform bill “and other fights will rest on one vote in the United States Senate.”
“That’s why what happens Tuesday in Massachusetts is so important,” he says.
