Shrub’s Campaign Finance Data in Machine Readable Format
Last week US presidental candidate and welfare recipent George W. Bush announced he was putting his donor list on his campaign Web site. He put the data in PDF format. Some people thought it was to discourge people from analyzing the data. I’d guess it was because his staff thought PDF was prettier than HTML (and easier to produce.)
Elliotte Rusty Harold, who runs a Java and XML news page, backed the raw data out of the PDF files and put the CSV data online for you and I to study. Thanks!
