In one of the most hotly contested Senate races, Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren outraised incumbent Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., by $4.5 million during the three-month period ending Sept. 30.

Warren raised $12.1 million between July 1 and Sept. 30, according to her campaign, while Brown's campaign says he raised $7.45 million during the same time period.

Massachusetts has turned out to be the most expensive Senate race of the campaign cycle as Warren's campaign has raised a total of $35 million while Brown has raised $24 million, according to the Associated Press.

Polls have been consistently tight. Warren and Brown have squared off in three debates and will meet again for their final match up October 30.

GOP-R--Con-Men says:
Dear Fellow Americans,

It is much easier to destroy something than to repair/restore it.

Republicans along with Bush/Cheney destroyed the country and looted our treasury. They block legislation to make corporations, big oil, big pharma and the super rich pay their fair share to restore revenue. They want you to replace President Obama with Romney as they continue fight and block anything to help struggling Americans and revive the economy.

Republican behavior is nothing short of treasonous including their bogus voter I.D. laws designed to strip voters including longtime voters of their right to vote by making it unreasonably difficult to obtain the added paperwork new I.D. laws require to vote. That alone is reason enough not to vote for the republican party which has thrown our constitution in the trash. In fact republicans have more allegiance to the GOP and Grover Norquist than our constitution.

A voter for Brown is a vote for Romney/Ryan/Bush Cheney agenda.
