Many staffers and supporters of Clinton joined her team, which proposes to raise $70 million for her statewide reelection campaigns in 2010 and 2012. Gillibrand is not well known in New York City, the liberal stronghold where Democratic primaries are won and lost. However she has already amassed a huge war chest and no major opponents for the primary are in sight.

Gillibrand is one of the most aggressive fund-raisers in the country, and prospective opponents dropped out of the 2010 Senate primary. Harold Ford, a former Congressman from Tennessee who lost a Senate bid there after voters reacted against his notoriously corrupt Memphis family was a notable challenger in New York until he dropped out.
