Return of Fantastiko

This is it -- our piece of the rock, where we set the agenda and lay the smack down. Or (more likely) exchange ideas civilly, listen intently, and learn from each other and from our visitors. Fantastiko offers political fireworks, news that flies under the radar, and a safe place for constructive debate.

My pie tastes funny.

I don't know how representative these Northern Ohio numbers are of regions in other swing states, but it certainly underscores how much of an advantage the Republicans had with only one guy to raise funds for; Bush is shown outraising the next highest fundraiser (Kerry) by 23 percent, even though the total raised by all the non-Bush candidates combined beats his figure by 31 percent, the vast majority of it from the "mainstream" Democratic candidates.

The site's the best of its kind that I've come across. You can do other more fun things, too, like looking up salaries of your favorite RNC and DNC staffers, and seeing the top political givers from your neck of the woods.

Now everyone's going to know that I didn't spend a single dollar on my candidate!

www.fundrace.org is another good one.

Again, I'm here to give a shout-out to zip code 44074. (OB Representin'!)

The top total donation in Oberlin was 25K to John Kerry. Republican donations made number 9 and 10 in the list with a total of 4K.

The numbers for the Lorain-Elyria-Cleveland metro area are weirdly skewed towards Bush, though, for an area that voted so heavily Kerry. (As an aside, since when did Elyria become a metro area?)

It's sad that wealth can so easily be correlated to your political affiliation.
