Google Launches a 2008 United States Presidential Election Site

In an effort to aggregate information on the United States 2008 Presidential Election, Google has launched http://www.google.com/2008election. The site is well put together and easy to browse. News, video, quotes and blogs are clearly tabbed along with the candidates. The information is continuously updates so the news does not get stale.

"Can't make it to Denver or Minneapolis? Go to our conventions site to view the latest news, videos, photos and blog posts. See what the candidates are saying about the issues that concern you by using Elections Video Search, which lets you search across all of the candidate speeches and videos by word. If you want to see what the Obama or McCain campaigns and other political journalists are reading, check out Power Readers in Politics and subscribe to get daily snippets. You can also interact with a wide variety of political mash-ups in the Google Maps Elections Gallery. If you're a teacher, inform your students about the political process with our Election Toolkit for Teachers. If you happen to be running for office yourself, or are blogging about various campaigns, go to our Campaign Toolkit to find out how you can use online tools to raise money, follow the campaign trail or spread your influence."
