GM's Rick Wagoner Ousted - Tweets from Mid-Western United States

News broke last night that GM's Rick Wagoner has been ousted by the OBAMA Administration. This is big news here in the Mid-West. So I decided to look at who is twittering what in the mid-west and I ended up creating a Google Maps Mashup of tweets from Mid-Western United States. I took Chicago as the base city and looked for tweets within 600 miles radius from Chicago.
