Brown ran with little help from the GOP. He got lots of local and nationwide support at a grassroots level. He even got people from Montreal to pitch in and help. I didn't see RINO's at the rallies. Brown got off his ass and spent time in the streets meeting voters. He got his hands dirty shaking hands with the ordinary rabble.
Though to be honest, Ace over at Ace of Spaces HQ was at Brown HQ last night, and says that a campaign staffer told him that the RNC kicked in a cool half-a-mil.
ALMOST makes up for their dumping a raftload of money onto Scozzafava's campaign. But not quite.
