Obama raises 32.5 Million in the 2nd Quarter, most of his donations coming from individual’s who made contributions on-line. What does this mean? On the other side of the coin, things are not going well with John McCain who only raised 11.2 million.

Hip-Hop For President asks the question how important is the money issue and how are campaign contributions broken down. Hip-Hop For President will explore this issue within the film, and do we actually care right now, we will be doing Man on the street interviews to find out, check back in to find out. Obama is catching fire, and no one has seperated themselves on the Republican side, will it be Fred Thompson.

I really don’t know who is calling the shots in the Clinton camp, but this is creating some buzz, the acting by Hilary is mediocre, but the cameo by Johnny Sack from the Sopranos was a nice directorial touch. An odd video for a Presidential candidate and I am confused as to what this accomplishes.
