This is kinda cool

http://www.fundrace.org/neighbors.php

I plugged in my zip code, 61801, and found that all my neighbors
but one here in Urbana who sent money to a political campaign
sent their money to the good guys. Most of them to Howard Dean.

"good guys", eh?

you wouldn't know good if it kissed you on both cheeks and handed you a
million dollars.

if you say something is good, i resolve to run like hell from it.

In my area is was split almost equally between Bush and Dean with some
Clark. Bush's donations were generally higher than Dean's though.

The interesting part, to me, was that I couldn't find one donation to
Kerry. Wonder if the dems have already tapped out much of their
donations supporting failed candidates?

Plug in 02100, that will give you Boston, MA and tons of Kerry donations.

You might be interested to know that 100% of all Janiks sent
contributions to Howard Dean while all of the Elmo Fortenberrys
sent contributions to Shrub. ;-)

100%, Eh? You musta loved Clinton. While that is correct, it's a tad
bit misleading given that there's only one Janik who has made a
contribution.

Not related to me BTW, all my relatives are too cheap to give money to
anyone else (especially a politician).....myself included.

Scary high percentage for Bush in my area ...mostly "farmers" ( if you
understand modern California agriculture you'll understand the quotation
marks ) and "ranchers" and a ton at $2000 ... there was probably a $2000/
plate fund raiser dinner ... "Come on boys, spend a couple grand and we'll
see to it that those damn fish don't get any water you need to grow
subsidized crops."

affluent neighborhood, i was surprised that john edwards appeared to have
garnered more contribs than the prez.

I was surprised to see that anyone *other* than Bush got money in my
neighborhood (W was 23/30). Edwards even got one $2K donation, but
lions share of the money went to shrub.

The only contribution I saw from Stanley, Idaho was $2000 for Dean. I
know the guy and I'm not surprised, but I'm surprised that Bush hasn't
gotten some contributions.

Idaho is sometimes called the most Republican state in the country, but
I've encountered quite a few disaffected Republicans this year. People
HATE the Patriot Act. Politically, however, Stanley isn't typical of the
urban and ranching population. A few years ago we had an openly lesbian
mayor and no one cared in the slightest.

it appears that a lot of the folks contributing in my area are self
employed. this is a great way to determine who's business to support and
who NOT to give your money to- if you care what they do with it.
