Wow. Elizabeth Warren outdid herself again -- by a lot.

The Democratic Massachusetts Senate nominee announced her fundraising total for the quarter: An incredible $12.1 million. GOP Sen. Scott Brown announced his fundraising haul shortly after Warren did: Nearly $7.5 million. It's a very strong number, though it falls far short of Warren's haul.

An email from Warren's campaign notes that $7 million was donated in September alone, making it the best month of the campaign. Both campaigns had their best fundraising quarters of the cycle.

Warren's campaign has not yet released the campaign's cash-on-hand at the end of September, while Brown's campaign announced approximately $10.2 million in the bank for the stretch.

Warren had the biggest haul of any Senate candidate last quarter -- as she surely will this quarter -- bringing in over $8.6 million and ending June with $13.5 million in the bank. Brown raised nearly $5 million during the second quarter and finished with over $15.5 million on hand.

"While Scott Brown has stood with billionaires, big oil and Wall Street - and supports Republican control of the Senate - Elizabeth Warren has been there for middle class families and small businesses," said Warren finance director Michael Pratt in an email. Brown's support for GOP Senate control has been a big theme recently from Warren's campaign in blue Massachusetts. And an emailed statement from Brown finance director John Cook also stuck to one of the campaign's big recent themes -- that Warren is for raising taxes. "Our campaign will have the resources it needs to starkly lay out the difference between Scott Brown's proven record of pushing pro-jobs legislation versus Elizabeth Warren's job-destroying policies of higher taxes that would crush our fragile economy," said Cook.
