Hillary Rodham Clinton defied the usual slow flow of summer
money, tapping 100,000 new donors and outpacing all other
presidential candidates in the chase for campaign cash over the past
three months.
The senator raised $27 million in the quarter -- $22 million for
the primaries and $5 million for the general election -- while other
candidates fell victim to the traditional third-quarter dip in fund-
raising.
For the first time, Clinton reported attracting more new donors
in a quarter than Sen. Barack Obama. And, for the first time, she
raised more primary election money than he did.
