Senator John McCain is supporting Scott Brown for reelection, sending out a fund-raising email on behalf of his fellow Republican warning that the Democrats are coming after Scott with everything they ve got.
In the note sent yesterday, the Arizonan and 2008 GOP presidential nominee added: The Reid-Pelosi establishment in D.C. also went out of their way to recruit Harvard Professor Elizabeth Warren to run against him. Warren and her special interest allies have already raised more than $3 million for her campaign coffers. With her class warfare rhetoric and her anti-capitalism views, Elizabeth Warren has the ability to raise millions of dollars from the far left fringe who are attempting to divide our country right now. That s why Scott needs your help.
McCain seeks donations of between $25 and the legal individual maximum of $5,000.
Brown is seeking his first full, six-year term since winning a special election in January 2010 to replace the late Democratic Senator Edward M. Kennedy. Warren, a teacher at Harvard Law School, is among five Democrats campaigning to challenge Brown in November 2012.
While McCain and Kennedy shared a personal friendship, the senator tweaked his late colleague by noting Brown had captured the so-called Kennedy seat that had been controlled by the Democrats for more than half a century.
McCain added in his message: Since his election, Scott has stayed true to his word, representing his state with a strong independent voice. Scott has fought higher taxes and out-of-control spending, and been a strong advocate on national security policies important to keeping our country safe from terrorist attack.
