Hillary Clinton (D)
Senator from New York
Clinton emerged from 2007 as the top fundraiser of either party, having brought in a total of $115.7 million, far above the $75 million her campaign had set out to raise last year. In the last three months of 2007, she collected $26.6 million, slightly less than during the previous two quarters. Clinton continues to face steep competition from Barack Obama, whose campaign has informally reported raising about $1 million a day in the month of January, but this New York senator has been the fundraiser to beat from the start.

Barack Obama (D)
Senator from Illinois
Last year was a good year for Obama, who matched fundraising frontrunner Hillary Clinton nearly dollar for dollar and is her last serious competitor for the Democratic nomination. Obama collected $22.8 million in the last quarter of the year, bringing his total haul to $102.2 million. The Illinois senator is now competing with Clinton to win over John Edwards's supporters for both their votes and their cash. Although official January reports won't be available until the end of February, Obama's campaign is already reporting that the presidential hopeful brought in about $1 million a day in the first month of the year.
