If she plans to knock out heavyweight fundraising champ, Sen. Barack Obama, she may have no other choice.</p><br clear="all"/> <p><a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/clinton08/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/usnews/20080508/ts_usnews/whyclintonstandstolosemillions"><img src="http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20080508/capt.e263246cac2d4b13876cce5c420997ba.clinton_2008_wvjh102.jpg?x=130&y=78&q=85&sig=PlX3n0TYp63E1v2Qd2Xx2w--" align="left" height="78" width="130" alt="photo" title="Democratic presidential hopeful, Sen.
