This summer, Hillary Clinton is reportedly rolling in dough. New York's junior senator has amassed a $12.6 million war chest for her re-election bid next year, raising half that amount from April to June alone. Clinton's latest campaign reports, filed on July 15 with the Federal Election Commission, became public on July 28. Her second-quarter contributions totaled $6,108,413. Combined with interest and refunds, the campaign took in a total of $6,145,305 during the period. More than $5.8 million came from individuals—65,691 in total. Those filings sprawl across hundreds of pages, so finding out exactly where her money came from in that round will take some time.

But her filings do show how broad

The Rio Grande Valley of Texas is so poor and they gave so much to her. So sad.

Back home in New York, according to campaign reports, the senator has collected $1.7 million, from 1,020 supporters. 1,020 out of supposed millions?? Hmm

This doesn't strike me as the least bit odd. I'm sure there are millionaires in Calif and NY who donate plenty to the GOP.

It's no coincidence that the Kinkos in the same area reported a drop in earnings from faxes sent to SeeBS.

All the money in the world won't help Hiliarly when the American people see for themselves, either during the primary season or the general campaign, the bubbling hate which resides in that witch, and no amount of spin, no makeover, no image consultant is going to suddenly transform the Senior Senator from New York into an "American Thatcher".

Hiliarly COULD be the second coming of Elena Ceausescu.
