One, about how great door64 is for the Central Texas tech
community.
Two, what else? Super Tuesday
Super Tuesday rocked the airwaves last night as Hillary and Obama were in a near dead heat with Hillary racking up the big California prize. Texas looms large now for the March 5th primary with 228 delegates at stake and a scheduled Feb 28th debate between Obama and Hillary.
It was interesting to see Huckabee and Mitt Romney lighting up big victory cigars and declaring victory while they were losing.
But the big winner last night was Google Maps teamed up with Twittervision. This app filtered all the twitter posts that related to the election and posted them on a map of the world.
Check it out. It kept me in stitches all last night and was tit for tat more informative than CNN, MSNBC, Fox or any of the old media outlets. New media was the clear winner in last nights Super Tuesday.
You can also keep track of the election at @Politics (run by the Media Cynic) and at Politweets. There is also a list here of political candidates with Twitter accounts.
Google has also has added an Election news resource. In the meantime you can check the latest polls to see how pollsters like InsiderAdvantage, SurveyUSA, Zogby, Rasmussen and ARG predict the candidates are going to do today.

Yeah, new media just left old media in the dust. That google maps / twittervision mashup is all you need to get the pulse of the world when it comes to the US elections. And the left sidebar was a neat summary of all the states results. Well done, google maps and Dave Troy.
I'm a real political junkie so I'm going to be all over that google maps / twittervision app tonight when the results come in from Wisconsin. It's very entertaining to see peoples comments too and you get a real sense of the nations mood.
