Fundrace2008 - Find Out Where Campaign Money is Coming From
By: Caitlin Morrissey
Date: March 12, 2008
Site URL: http://fundrace.huffingtonpost.com/
HotSite:
Curious to see if your know-it-all politico friend is putting his money where his mouth is? Huffington Post's FundRace2008 allows you to delve into what I consider personal information, to see which presidential campaign your family, friends, colleagues are contributing to. Search by city, occupation, and even employer to find out exactly how much money is being donated and who is giving to which campaign. Fundrace also offers widgets that you can add to your political website. Next to a name, address, picture, and blue donkey, Martha Stewarts is listed as donating $4,600 to Hilary Clinton's campaign. She is one of many celebrities listed under the 'big campaign donors' section of Fundrace, that are tracked using donkey and elephant figures to show their exact location,date, and amount contributed. Previous campaigns, such as the 2004 Presidential election, are also tracked, showing the individuals who, in hindsight, have jumped the fence and strayed from their previous political affiliation. After visiting this site, you may be shocked and surprised by which candidate is gaining the monetary support of your family, friends, and loved ones.
