A friend of mine showed me this today and I figured I’d share: Fundrace 2008 (a part of The Huffington Post) allows you to search campaign contributions for the current presidential election by name, address, occupation, and employer. Unsurprisingly, it looks like Wesleyan faculty are rather overwhelmingly Democratic.

I didn’t “choose” Novick. He was randomly assigned to me by the registrar, though it’s quite a bit of good luck that I got the only conservative currently listed. I am not a chem major, and neither of my current advisers are listed on that website, both of whom I picked for purely nonpolitical reasons.-Mytheos Holt

For some definition of good maybe. I mean, he obviously knows chemistry very well, I just found his lectures to be totally nonapplicable to the vast majority of the coursework/exams when I took 143 with him.

Search “Professor” across the country.Less than a million dollars to republicans, over 8.5 million to democrats. It would be interesting to know if this is truly the leaning of professors across the country, or if there is another fact, ie: Conservative professors not being willing to donate, not identifying, etc.

My donations don’t seem to be up there. Oh well – I’m pretty okay with that. It’s kind of a little creepy :(
