Hillary Depletes War Chest: Spent $30 Million to get re-elected

November 20, 2006

For the $30 million or more she spent on her re-election campaign, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton scored a 36-point victory over an obscure opponent, built a new set of contributors and began assembling the nuts and bolts she would need to run a presidential campaign, the NY TIMES is planning to report on Tuesday.

She also purchased more than $13,000 worth of flowers and funneled tens of thousands of dollars a month to consultants and aides.

The result was to deplete what had been a formidable war chests in politics down to a level that leaves her with little financial advantage over her potential rivals for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination — and perhaps even trailing some of them.
