The crazy, mixed-up world of the internet feels almost saturated at the moment with speculation about the US election, and cutesy microblogging site Twitter is no exception. While on the front pages of big news aggregation sites like Digg and Reddit stories not featuring the nominees are struggling to get a look in, the operators of the Twitosphere (yes, they call it that), have just launched a new Election '08 section to try and deal with the American public's seemingly unquenchable thirst for political comment titbits. The constant stream of comment rolling down the page is kind of cool, and kind of frightening.

Now playing: The Republican debate flip-flopping, Palin's exorcism, and, in breaking news, McCain 'looks kinda like a puppet when he talks'.
