Keep Track of Presidential Race from Many Perspectives - perspctv

Keep track of what's getting reported about the presidential race in somewhat realtime with perspctv. It's a nicely done news dasboard that updates on its own showing updates from CNN, Twitter, and the Blogosphere. It also shows poll results, predictions, daily reach, and search volume.

and they've got widgets:

In essence, it's a news aggregater, but it's a really good one and a great dashboard for you election junkies.
