You can see where the political money comes from and how much, whether in your neighborhood, 527's, Aunt Bee, corporations, etc, etc. Very interesting:

As you can see from this wired link
Site Tracks Political Zeitgeist an army of bloggers are fighting to educate the voters but will a reasoned war in fought in the
