User Generated Election
Monday, October 27, 2008 at 9:30PM With the election just over a week away, it's time to recap some of the best the internet had to offer from election season. Between the daily influx of politically driven content and the re-emergence of Saturday Night Live, it makes me wish for a presidential election every year. A few months ago, I started collecting political items that came to me via email, IM or Facebook. Most of the items have a liberal tilt, which means either most of my friends are liberal, or that most liberals are more digitally savvy than conservatives. Or possibly both.
Here are some highlights. Keep in mind, I tried to stick to stuff that I assume was user generated, so anything from SNL, Conan and the Daily Show didn't make the cut.

And, on to the Sarah Palin section.

One thing I'm realizing as I finish writing this post - I assume these are user generated by people not affiliated with the candidates. But given how big of an impact the web can have in reaching key voters, this may not by the case. Plus, Obama has spent so much money, I'd almost be surprised if some of these items didn't come from him.
I'm sure there are a ton more out there I never saw. If they are worthy, please add them in the comments section or email me directly and I'll add them into this post.
