At last count, George W. Bush has gathered about $204 million toward his reelection. Challenger John Kerry has raised about $110 million. That’s a lot of money, and it has to come from somewhere…and thanks to the wonders of the internet, it’s easy to find out exactly who is donating what.

Using the information that is gathered every time a political donation is made, fundrace.org can tell you the name, address, and contribution amount of anyone who decided to throw some money toward a candidate.
