Secretary of State Hillary Clinton long has been out of the White House race, but she's still dropping names. Literally.
To make back the campaign cash she spent in 2008, Clinton has resorted to the Washington way of making a buck -- sell your Rolodex.
The New York Daily News reports Clinton has made more than $3.5 million in the past year by selling access to her donor database, according to a review of federal campaign documents.
So, who's tapped into Clinton's list so far? The Democratic Party, advocacy groups, fundraising firms and Senate replacement Kristen Gillibrand, along with former colleague Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
Although Clinton isn't afraid to sell her donors out to some unwanted solicitation, so far President Obama is playing it cool (as always) and keeping his names on reserve.
