That candidate, far and away, is Barack Obama. In the second quarter he raised almost $33 million from more than 258,000 individual donors. Now the word “individual” in that last sentence is pretty important because Obama is the only candidate who DOES NOT take PAC money. His money is from people, not a group of people pooling their donations and hoping or demanding Obama does something for them in return if elected. Hillary takes TONS of PAC money and will be in their hip pockets if elected. Edwards takes PAC money too, but it appears that he’s taken far, far less than the others. Why is that? Why can’t Edwards, who has better name recognition than Obama, draw more money?
