The New York Times API makes available summary level campaign contributions for the Presidential Campaign of 2008 available via state and zip code. A full write up of the API can be found on the New York Times "Open" blog

The API has a restrictive license that prohibits use by "competitive" organizations:

(vi) use the NYT APIs for any commercial purpose or in any product or service that competes with products or services offered by NYT. (Note: See also the Supplemental Terms of Use for the Campaign Finance API.)

For that reason, it may be encouraged to use the Watchdog.net API the OpenSecrets API or the MapLight API which all offer similar information with a less restrictive license, though if one is looking for geographical contribution information in the 2008 presidential election, this may be your best resource.
