Fearsome potency

Hi, Does "Fearsome" is someone who's throwing fear/horror on somebody else? I remember some other word that I had in my text book
" ... shaken by his uneven performance and the formidability of his archrival Hillary Clinton. Emotion: hmm

Potency- Influence? I'm not sure with that once I saw on article that I read that they refered "Potency" to Machine in political terms ... thanks

"Like everyone else in Washington, Obama took as a given the fearsome potency of the Clinton machine."
