Obervation/question re Fundrace 2008 at HuffPo
I can't remember what presidential race it was that was totally mispredicted by a phone poll when most people didn't have phones (and don't have time to search as I'm late for work - Dewey/Truman? Was there more than one incident of this sort?)

but I'm wondering the same thing about this red/blue political donation map:
http://fundrace.huffingtonpost.com /

I just noticed that it only counts donations of $200 or more.

This has got to grossly distort what's going on nowadays with small grassroots contributions.....?

I'm wondering if the >$200 thing was a conscious decision on the part of the people who do the map, or if they can't get data below that amount?
