both the "experts" at DU and the press for that matter. The money issue is definitely going to be a factor. Not only the PACs but her own personal wealth. With the exception of Jeb Bush there is no one running on the republican side with her kind of wealth. They will definitely have Koch money behind them, but their own personal balance sheets (guys like Walker, Rubio, Paul) are going to show much less income/wealth. They will try to use that to paint her as an elitist and that will play well amongst their base (the midwest, the south, the churches).
