WASHINGTON -- Reflecting the split in the nation's political psyche, the entertainment industry split its contributions to the two Democratic candidates left in the presidential race.
According to an analysis of contributions report to the Federal Elections Commission by the nonprofit Center for Responsive Politics, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton edged Illinois Sen. Barack Obama. The margin between the two was so thin that they could swap positions again as final numbers were tallied, said CRP spokesman Massie Ritsch.
"Clinton pulled ahead of Obama in Hollywood, but not by much. The figures may change sometime tomorrow after we've done more coding, so I would avoid any grand statements about Clinton being No. 1 in entertainment money. The gap between them isn't that large, but it is more narrow than it used to be."
According to the early numbers, Obama appears to be striking a stronger chord with the industry as he's benefited to the television, movie and music industry as he raised $2.64 million in 2007. Clinton didn't fare badly, as she raised $2.52 million for the year.
