The week that was: Teddy passed the JFK baton to Obama, Bush offered up a blast-from-the-past State of the Union, McCain took Florida, Florida took out Giuliani, Clinton tried to claim Florida too (after having agreed that no one should), Edwards bowed out, Obama and Clinton had a Kodak moment, and the latest campaign fundraising figures were released, showing that Giuliani spent close to $50 million in '07, capturing but one national delegate in the process (the worst delegate bang for the buck in the history of presidential politics). For more fundraising fun, give our FundRace tool a whirl. Its new mapping feature lets you to see how much your friends, neighbors, co-workers, ex-husbands, old college roommates, and assorted famous folks have given -- and to who. Warning: It's addictive!

What a week: Did Larry Craig go on national TV and cry about a Mutts and Moms dog? Did Ellen DeGeneres tell Matt Lauer she wasn't gay? Or was that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? Did the Dali Lama insist he was still relevant? Did Britney announce she was running for president, while Stephen Colbert lost the right to visit his kids? So much happened, it was hard to keep it all straight. Or maybe I was too distracted by FundRace, HuffPost's addictive feature that makes it easy to see which presidential contender your friends, co-workers, and neighbors are contributing to. Our HuffPost team has been at it all week, crunching the numbers on everyone from media moguls to defense contractors to yoga instructors to Hollywood celebs (including the ones who didn't give). Check it out.
