The Center for Responsive Politics has come out with its initial slicing and dicing of first quarter fundraising and spending by the announced Presidential candidates.
They also have a neat charting tool, used to produce the graphic below, to compare candidates' fundraising, week by week.
The geek in me looked closer and each option just pulls a different pre-made image file, though. I was hoping it would define a call to a SQL table we could extract and really have some fun with.
Since the candidates are spending money like drunken sailors....or running Mormons, as it were, there's a lot more analysis that these folks are up to and working on, so I'll be checking back in with them as they follow the money trail.

no doubt very interesting, but it does cause me to wonder where the message is in all of this.
Will it just be about how much money they can raise and spend? Is there any correlation to the message, or is the message a straw man?
We should talk about the SQL thing - I am up to some real fun on a project like this :)
We did see that Edwards had a lift around the time of his wife's announcement in March.
I did not put it down because:
1) It's unseemly
2) It was a bit hard to disentangle from the lift that everyone else saw around that time
