What's that website that shows how much and to whom individuals gave campaign contributions? Thanks.

3. Take your pick.

My favorite for fast searches:
Newsmeat

Clunky, but includes neighborgood maps:
HuffPo Fundrace

Slightly clunky, but xlnt for searching by employer:
CampaignMoney.com

Good, but only a bare minimum of info:
OpenSecrets.org

Romney donors only, but very revealing:
RomneyFacts.com

And, of course, anti-gay donors going back to 1998:
Base8

If you really want to do in-depth research, don't forget about going right to the source; virtually every state offers public access to donor records (Google the state + "campaign finance" and/or "public disclosure").

But, of course, that's extremely time-consuming (and often frustrating), which is why the much-easier-to-use sites above exist.
