Check Out The Democrat Who Can Match Romney’s Fundraising

While Mitt Romney’s fundraising capabilities are being touted in glowing, over-the-moon terms, there’s a Democrat who can match him: Senatorial candidate from Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren. The money breakdown, by Yahoo News, compares the campaigns on an amount-per-voter basis. Romney, running for nationwide office, has raised $.77 per voter; Warren, running for statewide office, has raised $.75 per voter. The kicker is that Romney’s figures include donations to his campaign as well as donations to a joint committee set up between him and the Republican National Committee. Warren’s donations are to her campaign alone; she has raised $8.6 million just since April.

Of course, Warren’s opponent isn’t Mitt Romney. That would be current Republican Senator Scott Brown. Brown’s campaign was immediately critical of Warren for depending on out-of-state donations, even though no data on those figures was released. Warren’s campaign manager, Mindy Myers, did release this very significant information: half of the donations this quarter were for $25 or less, while a whopping 80% were for $50 or less. Seems the little guy is in her corner. Scott Brown has yet to announce his fundraising figures for the second quarter.

Elizabeth Warren’s rising star is bad news for other Republican players, as well. In a case of poor—or at least ironic—timing, Pat Buchanan made the statement this weekend, on The McLaughlin Group, that he hoped there wouldn’t be a female President in his lifetime. Not until 2040 or 2050, at least. (Uh, that would have to be 2052, Pat). As part of his argument, he added that Republicans aren’t even considering a woman to be on the ticket as vice-president. Yeah, that might be a problem for the GOP.

There is, after all, a second party. One that’s in control of the White House as Buchanan puts his feet in his mouth. One that has a bright and shining star emerging head and shoulders above the pack. First woman President? My money, at least figuratively speaking, is on Elizabeth Warren….and I have to wonder, as a matter of curiosity— just how long is Buchanan planning on being around?
