Hillary has to find new donars

Donald Lambro:

The unasked question about the $26 million Hillary Clinton collected in the first quarter is: Can she keep up that fund-raising pace?
The answer: It's unlikely, because a big chunk of the New York senator's contributions came from donors who gave the maximum $2,300 they are allowed by law to give to one candidate in a single year. Most news stories did not report that she cannot go back to these donors again until next year.
Finding new donors to take their place will be a lot harder, even for legendary moneyman Terry McAuliffe, the fund-raising genius who has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for the Clintons' voracious campaign finance machine.
The other unasked question in the first-quarter money race is about the nature of Sen. Barack Obama's equally impressive $25.6 million take over this same period. He achieved something far more lucrative than nearly matching Hillary's fund-raising prowess: His 100,000-plus donors -- twice the number of Mrs. Clinton's list -- were largely smaller contributors who gave less than $100. That means he will be able to go back to them multiple times over the course of the year.
Democratic campaign strategists tell me he will likely raise $100 million or more from these donors before year's end. Hillary's "maxed out" haul was sizable and a record, but Mr. Obama is better positioned to raise more than her this year. "With Obama, we're talking real money that keeps on giving," a veteran party fund-raiser told me.
"Hillary's dependency on the maxed-out donor worked well for her, but you have to question whether they can sustain the $26 million she raised in the first three months. That's more likely to decline in the second quarter, while Obama's contributions are likely to grow," said Joe Trippi who ran Howard Dean's 2004 presidential primary bid. "She has to do significantly better in the low donor base or she is going to have less money," Mr. Trippi said.

There is more.

I think she can find more donors as long as she keeps her front runner status. If she falls behind she will be in real trouble. Her negatives are up to 52 percent in some late polls which should be a problem for her, but the Clintons are very good at driving up their opponent's negatives which may offset this disadvantage.
