Yahoo launches Election Dashboard

Posted by Michael on December 15, 2007 at 2:59 p.m. in Technology, Politics

As reported by Techcrunch, Yahoo has launched a pretty kickass Election Dashboard for 2008. (The dashboard itself is right here.) It takes data from a few sources and aggregates it into a very easy comparison between presidential candidates, including Intrade, an Irish company that appears to be like the Iowa Electronic Market. You can even get data on a state-by-state basis. Pretty nifty little gadget.

Comments from site editors have a darker background than comments from everybody else.

The one thing that strikes me is how high Huckabee is despite having raised the least of any candidate on there, less than Ron Paul and the same as Kuccinich.

Site is looking good!

- Thanks! And the reddit story was on the front page for a bit. The title, in case you don't want to click on the link? "Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich Censored From Yahoo "Dashboard" (2008 elections chart)"

  - Goddamn those people are dumb. Can't they read the "other candidates" link?

    - Yahoo should've just anticipated their reaction, and put a special "retarded candidates" section at the bottom.

      - Now now. Let's not insult Mr. Dodd. He did, after all, kick a lot of ass with that FISA thing. Or, well, said he was going to.
