The Donor Next Door

By Joshua Macht

For the nosy neighbor in all of us, FUNDRACE.ORG lets you peek at the political donations of the folks on your block. Just plug in a name or an address (or browse the interactive maps), and you'll see who has given to which presidential candidates. The residents of 770 Park Avenue in Manhattan, for example, went big in 2003 for Kerry, Dean and Edwards, giving $38,000 total to the trio. At 300 Crescent Court in Dallas, Bush was the big winner, bagging $31,000. A word of warning: searching for friends and neighbors is addictive. --By Joshua Macht
