Hillary Clinton started to deliver on her fundraising goals. She has amassed $36 million so far including $10 million from her Senate funds. She raised $26 million in the first quarter of 2007 with her closest competitor, John Edwards bringing in about 14 million.
Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton raised $26 million in the first quarter, shattering party records while only just meeting the expectations she's created as a prodigious fundraiser.
The New York senator added $10 million more left over from her Senate account, bringing her total to $36 million, her campaign announced yesterday.

After Clinton's announcement, Republicans were quick to jump on the bandwagon and brag about their own fundraising capabilities. Mitt Romney brought in $23 million just shy of Hillary's 26. And Rudy Giuliani brought in 15 million, which is slightly more than Edwards 14.
Clinton may have raised a lot of money, but the Republicans are not running for the hills yet by a long shot. Furthermore it hasn't been disclosed how much money she had to spend to bring in that amount of money and fundraising. Sure those thousand dollar a plate dinners are profitable, however there are expenses involved.
