(Yet Another) Political Map Mash-Up

Slate.com has added to our growing list of election-related map-presentations with Map the Candidates.

This is a map-based interface with a deep dataset of campaign events. Each candidate has an icon, based (presumably) on their campaign logo. Users can set different time periods for which to map campaign events. Each data point includes additional information on each event.

Interestingly, Slate has added an element of citizen data-creation in partnership with Primary Place Online, which lets voters add their own "write-ups" of events. These are added, where available, to the attribute information on Slate's site. There are also videos from some events and links to related news stories about events. (Via Data Mining)
