Hillary Has 94% More Campaign Funds Than Nearest 2006 Opponent

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) has $14 million in the bank for her 2006 re-election campaign after raising more than $5 million in the three-month period that ended Sept. 30, reports AP today.

Westchester County district attorney Jeanine Pirro, the only declared GOP challenger to Senator Clinton, reported that her campaign had raised $438,555 since she entered the race Aug. 7 and had $363,921 in the bank at the end of September.

That's $802,000. Pirro's campaign chest holds 5.7% of Hillary's coffers.

And yesterday, Republican Gov. George Pataki endorsed Jeanine Pirro for the 2006 Senate race, prompting the only other known potential Clinton opponent, Manhattan lawyer Edward Cox, son-in-law of the late President Richare Nixon, to quit the race.

Here's my question....do you really think that Hillary needs $14 million for her 2006 US Senate race? Or could she have another race in mind after that?
