STORY HIGHLIGHTS
MIAMI (CNN) -- Hillary Clinton covered all her bases in Miami on Thursday: She padded her wallet with a paid speech, pitched her memoir with a book signing and fundraised for a Democrat in a critical presidential state.
This is becoming a familiar formula for Clinton. In October alone Clinton has four trips planned -- to Miami, Chicago, Las Vegas and San Francisco -- where she will combine a paid speech with either a book event or a fundraiser for a Democratic candidate or group.
The strategy is part logistical, part practical for Clinton. But as she considers a presidential run in 2016, it is also calculated. Campaigning for Democrats in 2014 allows her to curry favor with her party ahead of 2016, while selling her book and speaking to paid gigs lets her raise her profile (not that it is needed) and toy with talking points in front of supportive audiences.
Clinton ended her day Thursday in Florida at the sprawling Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables at a fundraiser for Charlie Crist, Florida's Republican-turned-independent-turned-Democratic candidate for governor.
The event was closed to the press, but according to multiple sources in the room, Clinton both touted Crist as the right choice for governor and spoke about bigger picture issues like the a woman's right to choose, growing the middle class and the importance of the space program to Florida.
The audience responded well to Clinton's fundraising calls, according to those in the room, and a Crist campaign spokesman told CNN that the event raised roughly $1 million for the Democrat's effort. The most expensive table at the event cost $50,000.
Clinton also said, according to one source, that she believed in "redemption and second chances," a remark that was seen as an acknowledgment of Crist's past as a Republican who called on Bill Clinton to resign the presidency during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
The former Secretary of State started her day, however, at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel, a white washed, swanky establishment were the Clinton was paid to appear before 1,200 people at the Commercial Real Estate Women Network Convention.
The event was announced in May, long before her appearance with Crist was announced last month.

Anatomy of a Hillary Clinton trip: Stump, sell books, get paid
MIAMI BEACH As she weighs another bid for the White House, Hillary Rodham Clinton said Thursday she has a grandmother glow thats fueling her campaign for female empowerment and gender equality around the world.
Speaking to a national convention of female real estate professionals, the former secretary of state and potential 2016 Democratic presidential contender called on business and political leaders to close the gap in wages and leadership positions between men and women.
Clinton, who joked that she felt that glow after the recent birth of her first grandchild, Charlotte, said she wanted all women to grow up in a world of full participation and shared prosperity.
I think my granddaughter has just as much God-given potential as a boy who was born in that hospital on the same day, she said.
In a speech that drew heavily on her own professional and personal experiences, including several references to her bruising presidential campaign in 2008, Clinton said women face double standards in business and politics and that governments should work to enact policies that break down barriers to equal opportunity. Her remarks were met with standing ovations.
These ceilings Im describing dont just keep down women, they hold back entire economies and countries, she said, because no country can truly thrive by denying the contributions of half of its people.
Clinton has repeatedly hit those themes as she travels the campaign trail to help Democrats in the midterm elections. On Thursday, she said the United States should eliminate what she called the motherhood penalty by requiring paid leave for new mothers. The measure, she said, would pave the way for more women to participate in the workforce.
Laws matter, Clinton said. I believe 100 percent in women being able to make responsible choices, but its hardly a choice if youre working at a low-wage job, you get no leave and you cant even afford to bond with your baby because you have to get back to work.
Clinton was also in South Florida to promote her book about her tenure as the nations top diplomat and to help Democrat Charlie Crist raise money for his gubernatorial campaign. CNN reported the event raised $1 million for the Crist campaign.
Crist, a former Republican governor, is locked in a tight race with GOP Gov. Rick Scott, who has outspent the Democratic nominee by a 2-1 margin in television advertising.

Clinton has said she expects to make a decision on a White House bid by the beginning of next year. The appearances help increase her exposure to voters in the nation's largest swing-voting state and allow her to reconnect with some of the same big-money donors who supported her and her husband's past political campaigns.
