Just to keep things in perspective....
Cash Conversion
$26 million =
Amount raised so far by Senator Hillary Clinton for her U.S. presidential campaign
This is equal to the cost of building 346,000 Habitat for Humanity houses in Katrina-devastated New Orleans (Source: New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity)
I ponder weird stuff, like the above data left me wondering how many would run if they were all given $25k ( or an average working middle class person's yearly salary before taxes) and if they then had to pay anything they spent beyond that out of pocket without borrowing. What would Hillary (or any of them) be willing to gamble to try to get elected? I think it would make elections a lot more interesting.
