New iPhone App Will Make You a More-Informed Voter, TechCrunch.

With the Presidential election right around the corner, a new iPhone app called Campaign from Gorloch Interactive tries to provide you with all the dirt on both candidates to make you a “more-informed” voter.

Ex-Clinton Aide: Media Tougher on Palin, CBS News.

I think here the media is on very dangerous ground. I think that when you see them going through every single expense report that Governor Palin ever filed, if they don't do that for all four of the candidates, they're on very dangerous ground. I think the media so far has been the biggest loser in this race. And they continue to have growing credibility problems.

Like every other geek in the world I was listening/watching/tweeting iPhone 2.0 today as Steve Jobs announced the 3G iPhone and the new iPhone apps.

Most of the new apps make use of GPS (and other location finders) to feed you data, relevant to your location. Also announced was the "Enterprise Apps" which allows an organization (or other group) to create a private app that can only be used by authorized iPhones. My first though/tweet was...

Imagine 100 poll workers, door to door teams, etc. all equipped with iPhones which are being fed local relevant data. You could walk down the street and have all the information for each house being sent directly from headquarters, you could take a poll and have instant data analysis, check off all the contacted people so no one is visited more than once.

All this can now be done by volunteers in their free time, after work, lunch break etc.

Most campaigns have already made the switch from land lines to cell phones for call centers. iPhone 2.0 takes this to the next level.

These are just a few possibilities I thought of, Aaron Marks over at TheNextRight.com had more thoughts.

Your turn, how do you see the new iPhone being used in political campaigns?

Could it be that a Republican candidate is first to tap into the iPhone?

I was horsing around with my new addiction and discovered an iphone widget site. And much to my surprise - and giddyness, i found the Ron Paul iPhone Headquarters.
