Lookin' it up...

Atrios, I believe, featured a link to a campaign fund-raising database of those who have given to one of the candidates.

The sad part is that I've now spent hours there trying to find names, patterns, and interesting bits of data. Here's the loony-ness I've come away with:
1. Most people named Reagan donate to Republicans.
2. Bill Gates gave the max ($2K) to Bush but does not appear to have donated to other candidates. The same holds true for long-time Gates' alter ego, Steve Ballmer. He and his wife individually donated the max to Bush.
3. In fact, think of the names of millionaires, and you often find maximum contributions each from a husband and wife, and usually to Bush.
