Hillary Clinton's friendly super-PAC is spending roughly $23,000 a day – nearly as much as it's bringing in – as it builds a database of supporters and donors for a possible 2016 Democratic presidential bid.

Viewed another way: Getting Ready for Hillary costs her supporters about $2 million per quarter, covering expenses for everything from political consultants to voter databases to Des Moines hotel rooms, according to disclosure reports released October 15.
