Featured on Programmable Web a couple weeks ago was an API from the Institude On Money in State Politics that allows you to track campaign contributions for candidates. It is pretty neat, and should come in quite handily in 2008. Here is their a view of their data for North Carolina.
A while back I posted about Project Vote Smart, and the news that they are
planning to make an API available "well before the 2008 elections". With the massive amount of information available at Project Vote Smart, this means interesting things for future web applications and social networking. I'm already excited about the vote in 2008.
