FundRace 2004 - A fun site that summarizes Presidential candidate contributions -- and ranks the success of the candidates -- under three categories: grassroots donors (the smallest average contributions), fat cat donors (the largest average contributions), and devotion (the highest average of repeat donors). Also a cool "money map" by candidate of where their money is coming from by state and county ... and more.

Their controversial and restrictive participation rules largely exclude third party candidates (even the major ones) from participating in these nationally televised debates. One of the groups protesting these restrictions is DebateThis.org.
