Rubio Raises Money For Brown
It's a GOP candidate crossover special: conservative Florida Senate candidate Marco Rubio is fundraising for his fellow Republican, the less-conservative Scott Brown of Massachusetts.
"In less than two days, we've helped raise almost $30,000 for Republican Scott Brown and made numerous calls on his behalf. With just days to go until Tuesday's election, I encourage you to keep it up and help Scott become the vote Republicans need in the Senate to stop the government takeover of health care being finalized by the Obama-Reid-Pelosi team," Rubio wrote in a fundraising e-mail to supporters today, asking them not only to donate to Brown's campaign, but to phone-bank for him from their homes.
Though Brown, unlike Rubio, isn't the typical Tea Party conservative, they have a shared interest: defeating Democrat Martha Coakley and taking away her party's 60-seat majority in the Senate.

I’m still donating, too, in my modest way. He’s gonna need the $$$ for lawyers, etc. Because this could be an ugly and expensive result.
Unrelated note here, I’d pay money for a poster picturing Rubio and Brown!
;)
Thank you and God Bless you!!!!!!
Excellent jesture on Rubio’s part. I don’t see Charlie Crist doing the same.
Crist is Martha Coakley with a tan.
The RNC is nowhere. We (they) are doing for themselves.
Again I say the RNC has been outsourced to Tea Party minded Conservatives.
Also Rubio, Col. West, and Brown are what I call new blood.
It is time for the RNC to ask a lot of the old war horses to retire and take a powder, they ain't gettin' it done. Collins, Snowe, McCain and even Mitch McConnell at this point comes to mind. I am sure you can think of tons of others.
Charlie is still waiting for his coronation like Coakley.
If he pledges to use left over funds to help Rubio beat RINO Crist and the democrat nominee, then I'll help him out with a monetary donation.
I hope you do. I’m planning to helping out as many races as I can this year. It is good to see candidates helping each other out. The degree of grassroots conservative cooperation is the best I’ve ever seen. That is the kind of mentality that can win. There are millions of us and when we combine our resources we become an unstoppable force.
That’s not necessarily true; campaigns make ad buys based in part on money they keep receiving and expect to receive, and if contributions drop all of a sudden the ad agency may not be willing to buy as many ads for Monday and Tuesday. In addition, the campaign needs money for the GOTV on Election Day. So, no, a contribution made tonight or tomorrow is by no means wasted.
I’ve contributed to Rubio’s campaign, so I receive e-mails from the campaign at least once a couple of times a week. A few days ago I received an e-mail urging his supporters to contribute to Brown’s campaign. I was going to make another contribution to Brown anyhow, so I clicked on the link, and it went to a Brown donation page that said “Rubio” at the end of the URL. I assume that the Brown campaign uses that to figure out how much of the contributions came from people sent there by Rubio, so I not only helped Brown in his (hopefully successful) race against Coakley but I also helped Rubio show how much political muscle he can wield. Expect Scott Brown to endorse Rubio in the FL primary, thus pushing the stake deeper in Crist’s heart.
The irony of this election is that a Brown win could be the act that saves the Democrat party, or at least save the seats of some democrats in congress and the senate..
If Brown wins and is sworn in before the final vote, his NO vote could stop the atrocious Obama Care bill in its tracks while at the same time giving Democrats cover for its failure.
The Democrats have already voted for it and Obama isn’t going to stop his agenda. He isn’t a pragmatist or opportunist like Bill Clinton. He is a true believer. This isn’t going to save the Democrats. They don’t have time to recover. They are in power and they are doing nothing to turn the job situation around except spending money and growing government.
