The folks at the Huffington Post have come up with a terribly interesting – albeit slightly invasive – widget bringing a lot of financial transparency to this year’s Presidential election.

Dubbed FundRace 2008, it’s a mash-up of Federal Election Commission filings and Google maps. Curious about who in your neighborhood donated to whom? Want to know how much Republicans raised, compared to Democrats, in Beverly Hills 90210 or Manhattan’s tony 10022? Just enter an address or a ZIP code and connect the dots.



You can even search by last and first name, if you’re dying to know how much Jennifer Aniston donated to whom. (Let’s just say, yes, she can to the fullest extent allowable by law.) FundRace was originally created by the smart people at Eyebeam.
