30 March 2008
Since January 2005, Barack Obama has outspent both John McCain (2.5:1) and Hillary Clinton (3:1) in currying favor with fellow senators and representatives.
As of December 31, 2007, Obama's leadership PAC, The Hope Fund, had already given $299,000 to Democratic Senatorial and House candidates (incumbents or challengers) for the 2008 election cycle. Neither Clinton (HILLPAC) or McCain (Straight Talk America) made any contribution to federal candidates during 2007.
These tables show the extent of Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton's leadership PAC donations and whether or not the candidate has been endorsed for president, if that is known.
