Fundrace, from the Huffington Post, is an interesting look at the money being raised for the popularity contest known as the 2008 presidental election. The Horserace shows who has raised the most money, their popularity on social networking websites, and recent news articles written about the candidates at the Huffington Post. The Neighbor Search allows you to lookup contributors by name or location. This is fun for your inner cyber-stalker; to see who in your area is giving money to whom or to see who George Clooney is supporting this year. Today it seems that most people in the US vote politicians and not politics, making their decisions based on 30 second commercials and talking points. Something that makes this even more interesting is the Presidental Brands website, which unintentially idolizes the cult of personality.
