Clinton Raises $26 Million in First Quarter of 2007

ABC News' Kate Snow Reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign announced today it has raised $26 million in the first quarter of 2007. $4.2 million of that was raised on the Internet.

The campaign will actually report $36 million in fundraising because of a transfer to her presidential account of the $10 million that was left in her Senate campaign account after her re-election last fall.  Because those dollars were raised under the federal campaign finance laws, the $10 million is completely transferable to her presidential campaign account.

"I am proud to say that we have dramatically exceeded our goals and expectations," said Campaign Manager Patti Solis Doyle.

On Clinton's campaign website today a bold-typed message signed "Hillary" reads: "Thank you for making our end-of-quarter fundraising drive a huge success!" over the candidate's smiling photo.

Clinton supporters trumped the other campaigns by calling a 2PM teleconference with reporters, making her the first major candidate to release a figure. 

Clinton shattered the record for presidential fundraising in a period of just three months.  Former Vice President Al Gore had previously held that record by raising $9 million in one quarter in 1999.

Hillary and Bill will do absolutely anything (i.e. twist arms, make threats, blackmail)to aid them in attempting to buy the nomination and subsequent general presidential election.
