What do you get when you graphically represent the relationship between presidential campaign contributions and geography? FUNDRACE 2004. According to the map for St. Louis, the top Democratic buildings are 1 N Brentwood Blvd ($14,000), 1441 Hampton Ave ($12,000), 1010 Market St ($12,000), 1 Metropolitan Sq ($10,750) and 500 S Warson Rd ($8,000), while the top Republican buildings are 999 Executive Parkway ($22,000), 611 Olive St ($9,950), 7701 Forsyth Blvd ($6,500), 816 S Hanley Rd ($6,450) and 2730 S Lindbergh Blvd ($6,000). All calculations for FUNDRACE 2004 are based on records filed with the Federal Election Commission.

Folks in the 63116 zip code (South City) favored Dick Gephardt, while people in the 63017 zip code (Chesterfield) gave a lot of money to George W. Bush. (No surprises there.)

Meanwhile, over on GOOGLERACE 2004, Dennis Kucinich wins the St. Louis award.
