Clinton finances are better for general election

By Jeff Mason

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has more money at her disposal for a general election -- which she may or may not be able to use -- than for the current contests against rival Barack Obama, records show.

Obama, a senator from Illinois, and Clinton, a senator from New York, both had record fundraising totals in February. Obama raised some $55 million and Clinton $35 million.

Both have out-raised John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for the November election to determine who will succeed President George W. Bush in the White House.
