Could A New Era be in Store for 08'?
Would YOU take a chance for there to be a Female President? We might just see a first in history to ever happen, with NY's Senator Hillary Clinton.
New York State Senator and Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has a wealth of support pouring in.
According to the first quarter fundraising records that were released on Sunday, Senator Clinton has raised $26 million to this point.
In comparison, that total nearly matches the combined amount each democratic hopeful had collected four years ago.
Clinton is leading the pack of her competitors, including North Carolina Senator John Edwards, who has $14 million
On the Republican side, conservative candidate Mitt Romney is winning the fund raising battle, despite him trailing in the polls. He reported $23 million in funds.
Other candidates are expected to release their figures throughout the week.
On a Side-note:
After gaining monetary support in the form of campaign funds, Senator Hillary Clinton is now receiving support in the form of endorsement from a neighboring state's governor.
New Jersey governor Jon Corzine publicly endorsed Clinton during one of her campaign stops on Monday.
It was her first campaign stop in the Garden State, which is already a democratic-leaning state.
