HRC: Raising Money For Primary AND General

Look closely at Sen. Clinton's exploratory committee website, and you'll discover that she's asking for contributions as high as $4200 from individuals.

What does that mean?

Because the limit on individual contributions is $2100 per election, it means that Clinton is raising money for two accounts -- her primary account and a general election account.

In other words -- Clinton becomes the first candidate to officially acknowledge that she won't accept federal matching funds for either the primary and the general election.

Also note, her announcement today is exactly 2 years to the day of "Bush's last day" (1/20/09).

So what's she have to do--legally--if she doesn't win the primary?

I'm curious.

She must think that she can raise more than the $80 million or so that the federal government will give her to use in just the couple of months between the convention and election.
