Cash For Hillary

August 10th, 2007

Give the devil her due. Hilllary Clinton knows how to get endorsements. Not just from fellow Democratic political careerists, now lining up to pledge their oath of allegiance to Hillaryland Inc. The big boys with the big dough are also jumping aboard the Hillary express, making sure they have smooth sailing in a future Hillary Clinton administration by placing their bets right now. Not a few of these tycoons are Republicans, past contributors to the presidential campaigns of George W. Bush. As Bob Dylan once said, “The times are a changing.”

Relying on big money, Hillary Clinton has clearly established a formidable political fundraising machine. Though the media has fixated on Barack Obama’s impressive fundraising numbers, moderately ahead of Hillary’s in the last financial quarter, Senator Clinton is miles ahead of all her other challengers, both Democrats and Republicans. In no small part, her success is due to Obama’s fundraising machine sucking up the money that would otherwise have gone to more seasoned opponents of Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Party. However, with her political infrastructure now well established, and positioned to take advantage of the front-loaded primary season that will soon be underway, there are signs that Hillary now wishes to achieve financial dominance over Senator Obama.

The Clinton political machine, already boasting a powerful fundraising apparatus, has recently added some new hires, strengthening its ability to compete with Obama among his core contributors, who for the most part are modest donors. No doubt, Hillary’s success in trivializing Obama in the various candidate forums has tarnished Barack’s once glowing image. The Clinton people probably now see an opportunity to push their candidate’s fundraising performance ahead of Obama’s during the fall. Not that they need the money. However, should they overcome the last remaining achievment from the overblown Obama bandwagon, the wounds inflicted on Barack may prove politically terminal.
