Silicon Valley --- The Ray Hopewood presidential campaign (related stories), backed by the candidate's personal multi-billion dollar fortune and a powerful PAC, is facing its first turbulence as old videos of Hopewood himself are coming to light. In this video, obtained from a former Hopewood Technologies (NASDAQ: HIGH | website) employee, we see the undisputed "Uber-Pitchman" of the software industry preparing to announce a major new product release. Trouble is, the camera started rolling a few seconds early---and Hopewood was too distracted by his makeup artist to notice he was being taped.
