"ABC News' George Stephanopoulos Reports: A source close to Sen. Barack Obama,
D-Ill., says his presidential campaign raised more than $30 million during the
second quarter, which ended yesterday.
That figure tops Obama's haul
during the first quarter of the year, when he reported raising $25.8 million.
Official figures have not yet been released by Obama's rivals for the
Democratic nomination, although the campaign of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y.,
had said it expected to raise about $27 million during the quarter, and the
campaign of former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., had publicly set a goal of $9
million."
Though Hillary Clinton continues to lead in the polls, Obama has taken a strong lead in the money race. Money doesn't win an election by itself though, a lot of people are interested in supporting the idea of Obama, but are looking for more of a record than he has. This is where Clinton has an advantage, she has a record in the senate, and a record of working across party lines.
