A very cool interactive heatmap visualization of Chicago Political Contributions

What with our new president-elect from Hyde Park, IL, and IL Gov. Rod Blagojevich being in the news, this heatmap is even more intriguing.

I know the Hyde Park area, so I knew where to drill down. I was looking to see how much one of my friends had donated. I had to quit and go back to work.

Do the “Chicago Campaign Contributions” application.

You can play with the controls, and I think it’s fun.
