President Obama raised $1.072 billion for his 2012 successful presidential campaign. This is after he raised $750 million for his 2008 campaign.
How well is Hillary Clinton expected to do in the fundraising department?
According to aides, her efforts will "astound and intimidate."
Major donors are ready to announce huge financial commitments to Hillary Clinton as soon as she announces a second run for the White House, according to Clinton allies and Democratic fundraisers.
The Clinton team wants to build excitement about her campaign launch, which is expected in March or April. The money blitz would be a show of Clinton’s strength meant to scare away potential primary rivals.
“The floodgates are going to open immediately, and there’s going to be a rush to get on the team,” said Don Peebles, the real estate mogul who served on President Obama's national finance committee. “There’s nobody in the Democratic Party who can match her. Not even close.”
“It’s going to be like nothing you’ve seen,” added one top Democratic donor, who supported both of Obama’s presidential campaigns and plans to throw big support behind Clinton. “The numbers will be astounding.”
Clinton is also busy considering who to have run the finances of her would-be campaign.
The wide consensus among Clinton insiders is that Dennis Cheng, who serves as the chief development officer at the Clinton Foundation and worked on her finance team in her 2008 campaign, would take on the role.
Democratic fundraisers say big donors are more likely to get behind Clinton than Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), a favorite among progressives, who has attacked Wall Street interests that can be big players in Democratic politics.
“The bundler class is less likely to get behind her,” said one top Democratic fundraiser.

I guess when Hillary says we need to get the money out of politics she just means everybody else’ money.
Probably raid the billions from the Haiti relief fund.
Must be nice to be able to ‘buy’ a president.
This is interesting. Very few libs I know are all excited about Hitlery. Most are quite weary of the Clintons and aren’t all that optimistic about her. Her popularity is hype pushed by the RAT’s running dog press.
Has she recovered from the stoke yet?
for Hillary!
Bluster. Trying to create an air of inevitability. Didn’t work last time, will not work this time.
Is John Huang still around?..................
They can raise a billion dollars to dress her up, apply makeup and put fancy perfume on her, but at the end of the day... it’s still Hillary.
Hillary can fake sincerity but she cannot fake likeability. She comes across as shrill, whiny and obnoxious. Only brain-dead leftists will go for her and although they are a large group, they are not big enough to elect a president.
Hillary plans to Buy the job as President and then go on vacation just like Obama ,LOL
I am not in awe of Hillary. She is simply not a charismatic candidate and lacks, severely lacks, the political gifts (said grudgingly) of her husband. All the money in the world just won’t be able to put enough lip stick on that, well, you know the rest.
It's HUANG, not HUNG!...................
Oh yes, she is 20 feet tall and cannot be defeated....
For the sake of discussion, let’s say she raises $500 million during the primary season, but someone else wins the nomination. After paying off staff and all other campaign related expenses, what happens to the money that’s left over?
Has Hillary EVER managed anything beyond a ‘sluts and nuts’ team?
But even a lot of brain dead leftists don’t like the clintons. To them Hillary is not liberal enough.
Hillary is ripe for a primary challenge from the left. She was taken down once before when she was supposed to be inevitable. So what makes everybody think that Hillary is inevitable this time???
She recently told us how poor she is. So it’s no surprise she’s super- greedy to get her paws on tons and tons of filthy lucre. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. And more $$$$$$$$$$$$ !!!!!! Yippee!!!
