Mortgage rescue: Where McCain and Obama stand

Fundraising

When it comes to contributions from housing- and mortgage-related corporations, the two candidates are fairly even. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, McCain has raised $4.6 million from the construction industry and $25 million from the finance, insurance and real estate industries.

Obama has raised $3.3 million from the construction industry and $27.4 million from the finance, insurance and real estate industries.

The most infamous executive behind the mortgage meltdown, former Countrywide CEO Angelo Mozilo, contributed to two presidential contenders: Democrat Bill Richardson and Republican Rudolph Giuliani. He gave to neither McCain nor Obama.
