Obama Campaign Finance Network

This interactive chart shows the network of campaign finance transactions related to Presidential Candidate Barack Obama. The links are formed through transfers of campaign funds between committees, and also through independent expenditures either for or against the candidate. The colored triangular edges between nodes show all such transactions related to the node in the middle of the chart. Click on any node (committee) in the chart and it will move to the middle and update to show all similar transactions as related to the new middle node. Red edges are independent expenditures against the candidate, green edges are independent expenditures in support of the candidate, and blue edges are transfers of contributions between committees. The thin black lines show all other connections between all of the remaining nodes in the network. This unique visual display allows you to interactively explore and understand the patterns of financial and political connections between political candidates, party committees, and independent committees during the current election cycle. See our Guide to Campaign Network Charts for a fuller explanation.
