Clinton Raises 4 Million in First Quarter

The New York Times reports that Sen. Hillary Clinton fundraised extremely well during the first quarter of this year.

Her campaign reported on Monday that she had amassed nearly $4 million in contributions in the first three months of this year, meaning that she will close the first quarter with $8.7 million in the bank.

Mrs. Clinton's advisers are reluctant to say what the senator's fund-raising goal is for the 2006 re-election campaign. But she raised and spent roughly $30 million in 2000, when she won Daniel Patrick Moynihan's old seat in the most expensive Senate race in New York history, according to campaign finance disclosure records.

This time around, Mrs. Clinton, whose popularity rating in New York is soaring, may end up facing only token opposition. But Republicans are nevertheless vowing to spend millions to attack her, no matter who her opponent is, because she is considered a leading presidential contender in 2008.

The Junior Senator from NY is raising like she's running for President.

So is the Junior Senator from VA, though clearly not at Hillary rates (about $2 million so far this year).

Right now, because the Democrats tend to like and nominate people we don't know about and the Republicans like to nominate people they know too well, I am picking this matchup to be my early prediction for 2008, fwiw.  (probably not much)

Honestly, where does all of her money come from?  From what I have seen her grassroots support is minimal.  I guess majority of her contributions are from large corporations and extremley wealthy individuals?

I'm pretty sure of that myself.

Most definitely. Her grassroots support is almost nonexistent.
