After nine months of fundraising, the candidates for president in 2008 have already raised about $420 million.
This presidential money chase seems to be on track to collect an unprecedented $1 billion total.
By some predictions, the eventual nominees will need to raise $500 million apiece to compete–a record sum.
To find out where all this money is coming from, explore the options to the left. Year-end reports are due to the Federal Election Commission by Jan. 31.
