Campaign finance hits home

Ever wonder where the political lines lay in your neighborhood? Curious whom your friends and colleagues are supporting in the presidential election? Take a gander at Fundrace.org. This site uses publicly available campaign finance data from the FEC, making it searchable and connecting it to a map. You can search by address to see what folks in your area are giving, or you can search by an individual's name (the most common search is "Bill Gates," who gave $2000 to Bush's campaign).

Kinda creepy, but also rather addictive. I wonder, though, if there's a lower limit to what contributions show up - the (small) ones I made to Wesley Clark and later John Kerry don't seem to get me listed. Bummer?
