Map The Candidates

Neatorama reader Chadwick Matlin told us about a website to track the 2008 US presidential candidates as they campaign across the country using a Google Maps mashup:

We’re tracking the presidential candidates as they campaign across the country via a Google Maps mashup. We’re integrating YouTube video, timeline sliders, and a local news feed in order to bring the campaign events into an intuitive, customizable forum. We’re hoping the visual presentation and customizability of the data can help journalists and the average citizen get a feel for the trends of this campaign and what it says about how our primary system works.

As you can see, at the time of this posting, everyone’s over in Iowa: Link – Thanks Chadwick!
