Soft money is sometime called " non federal" money. Usually lobbyist will bribe a politician using soft money. Hard money is federal. It's the money the government gives parties or candidates. For example, the 08' election is somewhat funded by hard money. Each party is supplying their candidate with money.

Hard money is money raised by political candidates that must be reported to the FEC. Soft money does not need to be reported. Soft money is basically money that was donated to the party, but not for a specific candidate or purpose. There are lots of arguments on banning/not banning soft money in political campaigns.
