2008 Presidential Wire – This Will Become A Daily Must Read
Patrick Ruffini has a really cool new feature called the 2008 Presidential Wire. It is the “first news aggregator and buzz tracker devoted to the next Presidential campaign.”
Throughout the day, the Wire goes out and scours blog and MSM feeds for news about 22 potential Presidential candidates, both Democrat and Republican. The result is a tool where you can not only read all the news about a particular candidate, but where these stories are compiled, analyzed, and tested against underlying trends. Who’s the most discussed political leader on blogs right now? Who’s the favorite of MSM journalists? Whose coverage is up 671% from yesterday?The 2008 Presidential Wire enables us to know, in real time.
Go to Patrick Ruffini’s blog to read more about how it works. He explains it so that even a techno-Flinstone like me can understand. This is definitely going to be a daily must read for political junkies like me, and I’ll bet most of you reading this.
