Lt. Col. @ScottBrownMA?s Best Debate Line; Raises Over $1.3M; GA GOP Joins Fight

By Phil

Via LegalInsurrection, a quick update for those of you who didn’t get a chance to watch either via Boston.com or C-SPAN this evening at 7pm et:

In a general discussion on healthcare, David Gergen, debate moderator, was asking the Lt. Col. his views on the pending legislation in Congress. In the middle of the discussion (see video, below; line repeats at end), State Senator Brown remarked,

“With all due respect. It’s not the Kennedy seat, and it’s not the Democrat’s seat. It’s the People’s seat.”

It was pretty much all over from there…

Oh, yeah — his Internet “Money Bomb” did phenomenally better than expected. Originally Mr. Brown wanted to raise $500,000 by midnight tonight. Well, I guess he’ll have to settle for more than twice that amount:

$1,092,498.62

Make that $1,303,302.50

Tuesday, January 12, 2010 Update:

PeachPundit reports that the Fulton County Republican Party is officially lending a hand to help the Lt. Col. become the 41st vote against healthcare via a similar initiative that helped the GOP win big in Virginia and New Jersey:

Fulton County GOP Joins Fight to Elect Scott Brown in January 19th Special Election; Scott Brown represents the 41st vote against disastrous health care reform legislation

ATLANTA, Georgia ? On Monday, January 11 the Fulton County GOP Headquarters will start a week of phone banks for Scott Brown, candidate for U.S. Senate, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The new, easy to use and efficient phone system acquired by the Fulton County GOP this Fall is a state of the art election-based G.O.T.V. resource that was instrumental in the Republican governors? victories in New Jersey and Virginia.

?2010 is a very important year for Republicans and the U.S. Congress. Not only do we have an opportunity to gain back seats in the House, but Scott Brown has given us the chance to end the filibuster-proof Senate,? says Shawn Hanley, Chairman of the Fulton County Republican Party.

?Brown has closed in on his liberal opponent, closing the gap that was once around thirty to single digits. The most recent poll has him up by one point. By helping a fellow conservative in Massachusetts, we are going to jump start the G.O.T.V. volunteer training for all upcoming elections.?
