Imagine if a Democrat...

In a heavily Republican state raised an astounding $13 million in what should have been a safe seat for the Republicans. Which is exactly what Scott Brown did in the process of derailing Martha Coakley in Massachusetts.

Brown raised so much late money - about $1 million a day via the Internet at the end - that he couldn’t spend it all. He ended the campaign with an estimated $4 million in his campaign account, spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said. The campaign’s original budget was $1.2 million, but it ultimately raised about $13 million. With a flush campaign account, Brown will enter office in a stronger position to defend against an almost certain challenge in 2012.

If the roles were reversed and the Democrat had out raised and won a seat in a Republican state the media would be going crazy. The talking points would be how the Republican party is failing the country. How the people have seen the light and the trend is going to be towards an overwhelming support nation wide of Democrats.

But of course we won't see any of that from the main steam media.
