Election '08 Twitter Chatter

Did you watch Saturday Night Live? It was hilarious. Tina Fey looks so much like Sarah Palin. Last I checked on Twitter there were lot of folks talking about SNL.

Check out who and from where folks are talking about Sarah Palin and Lipsticks and Saturday Night Live and other Presidential Candidates in this Mashup of Google Maps + Twitter + YouTube Videos.

VEEPSTAKES - Who will Barack Obama and John McCain choose?

I wonder if the VP selection committee at both Obama and McCain campaigns, have made use of Google Trends to help them narrow the list of candidates.

I have put together a Google Maps Mashup of Google Trends + Possible VP Candidates which might provide some help. This mashup shows the top 10 cities in United States where the search is originating for a given candidate. This list can be filtered by date and individual US State. The mashup also shows you links to news articles which caused a spike in search.



What about folks who just don't care? Looks like folks in Syracuse, NY don't care about anything :)

Barack Obama - Front Runner in the White House Race

Last Night was a huge night for Barack Obama. He beat out Hillary Clinton and John Edwards in the IOWA Caucuses. Barack Obama has now a real shot at this.

I checked out Wikipedia to trace Barack Obama's journey from his birth place (Honolulu, Hawaii) to possibly the White House. I translated my findings from Wikipedia into Google Maps Mashup which maps out Barack Obama's journey.
