As we anxiously await the results of today's elections, let's veer off track just a bit and take a look at whose cash helped fuel the Presidential race. FundRace 2008 is a great mashup presented by the Huffington Post, using data and systems from the Federal Election Commission, Eyebeam, and Google Maps. According to their data, donors listing themselves as residents of Chattanooga gave $495,403 to Presidential candidates in this election cycle, with 249 people giving $335,316 to Republicans and 207 people giving $160,087 to Democrats. With the FundRace widget, you can search donor data by name or location. Have fun, and let us know what you find...
