Women Power: President Hilliary Clinton

The Federal Election Commissioners believe the 2008 United States presidential race will be the most expensive election in American history. The reported cost of campaigning for President has risen significantly in recent years. Politicians with ambition have begun to express formally their desire for the presidency in the form of exploratory committees, which allows the hopeful to raise money and travel without having to follow certain financial restrictions mandated by federal law. With official events, such as debates and candidate forums, beginning as early as February 2007, the status of a candidate will be based on whether or not he or she is invited. Several minor candidates in the past have tried to litigate their way in generating some publicity but little public support.
