The internet is amazing. Last month we posted a link to a summary of how much money various presidential candidates have raised. Today I came across Campaign Finance which list the top donors for the presidential candidates. It also lists the top donors for Senate and House races, just enter the name of a candidate.
There are dozens of donors to Hilary Clinton who have given over $6,000 each. In contrast the top Republican fund raiser, Mitt Romney, only has three people who have donated over $5,000. One of these individuals is Mitt himself who has donated $61,435. These lists have a date. I think it may be possible for someone to make two smaller donations at different times and not show up as a large contributor.
Check out who are the big spenders in your zip code. The site also tracks who celebrities are donating to. For example you can find out who Tom Crusie, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Bill Gates have donated to.
As with anything on the internet you should be cautious about completely accepting the information. I did a quick Google search and didn't turn up anyone saying the information was false. Another factor that leads me to think the site is good is their numbers were similar to Opensecrets.org.
