1. There's some interesting comparisons there

But I don't like the way they've combined some of the categories. For example, why combine data for small donations with data for a wide range of geographic areas? And why calculate the average donation by those donating over $200 but not those donating under $200?

In general, flawed but interesting.

5. They're Not Perfect Webmasters

The site provides a quick visual reference on the fund raising efforts of the candidates overall and breaks it down a little.

2. What a great link!

Man, I eat this empirical data stuff up. Thank you.

Now, I know this is just money we're looking at, but I see a big surprise in republican money vs. democratic money in my home state of NC, of all places. Maybe we won't go repuke this time around.

I'm also please to see heavy Dean contributions in my county. Weehee!

3. This is interesting too

The repeat factor, expressed as the average number of contributions per individual donor.

4. Geographical support

As a measure of the breadth of geogrpahical support, the number of zipcodes from which a candidate has received a contribution greater than $200.
