Following the money..

If you want to see how the money race is shaping up in the Prez race the Federal Elex Commission has a pretty neat map system right on its front page.

At the moment (last reporting period) there's some interesting stuff.

-NC has contributed $9,265,183 to candidates
-While NC is traditionally a red presidential state McCain is 4th behind Obama, Edwards, and Clinton
-Democrats have raised almost 3-1 over Republicans

You can even narrow it down by zip code and then when you click on a zip code it tells you who's contributing.

It's not earth shattering news or new but if you haven't seen it, it can be a little addicting.
