Future presidential hopeful, New York Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has $20 million in the bank and is light-years ahead of her competition in fund raising.
Voters simply want another Clinton in the White House, and they are saying so with their donations.
Candidates eyeing 2008 presidential bids collected millions for a variety of campaign committees over the first three months of the year, with New York Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton far ahead of the pack.
Clinton, who faces two little-known Republican opponents in her bid for a second term in November, raised $6 million from Jan. 1 to March 31 -- outdistancing the 32 other senators seeking reelection this fall as well as her prospective rivals for the presidential nomination. Clinton has now raised better than $39 million for her reelection effort since coming to the Senate in 2001 and ended last month with nearly $20 million in the bank. Election law allows anything left over from her Senate campaign to be transferred to a presidential campaign. "This is a tribute to her hard work and the depth of support she's built," said Ann Lewis, communications director for Clinton's campaign. Lewis added that 95 percent of Clinton's contributions were for $100 or less.
People want change, and they want it now. These same people are voting now with their dollars before they make the more important vote at the polls.
Hillary also brings credibility and the possibility of a strong, corruption-free White House, and voters have fallen in love with the possibilities for change.
Run for president, Hillary. Fix this mess, and get the country back on the right course.
