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.

She seems to have talked Elizabeth Warren out of running. Who else to the left of her has any credibility?
Lets get real here. Hillary Clinton generates about as muc excitement as a dead mole.
I hope Hillary sucks up all the Democrat money. That’s what she is good for.
LOL!
If Mitt-Jeb ends up running against her, Hillary will move so far right that they’ll be the ones on the left.
Well played. Wonder how many will get the reference?
I will never understand the fascination with that woman.
Yeah, you can bet she would run the economy like her campaign funds more debt on the horizon; and progressive liberal democrat communists are notorious for throwing good money after bad, she will get whatever she needs/wants.
Her election would open a regime of unlimited corruption -- if you're on the right side and play the game.
This feature will attract a LOT of money to her campaign. In return for billions, the Clintons will require millions -- and binding loyalty.
It’s just money laundering to cover up for the money she got from Qadaffi’s fortune.
“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?”
Pays Bill’s legal fees?
Soros winks
Must have got verification from the chineese.
I think the press is so defensive about the criticsm layed on them that they will go after her with a vengence. There’ll be no place for her to hide.
She’s an embarrassment. I say bring it on.
Agree guess what computers will get hacked next.
