The Economist points me to this amazing picture of my new neighborhood:

"TYPE in your home address at the website fundrace.org and sneak a peek at your neighbours' political donations. Or choose a postal code---say, Beverly Hills 90210---and see a list of who gave how much to whom. Your correspondent, from his modest Boston pad, discovered some unexpectedly ritzy nearby residents: the vice-chairman of a huge media company, who gave $30,000 to the Democrats, and the chairman of a big medical-device firm who, with his wife, contributed $50,000 to the Republicans.

Interestingly the top Democratic Sponsor is just around the corner - should that make me worry?
