WidgeQuickies

JARED Novack's post brought up some great points about news widgets. While I agree that there is definitely still a void that needs to be filled, I'd also like to give ya'll some widgets that are already doing this.

Novack mentioned slate.com's Election Scorecard, which definitely is one of the best election widgets out there. Other notables include:

1. The Washington Post's Election Collection, which allows users to choose one candidate and follows their travels and money-making. It still has the links to the traditional narrative stories, but piles all the info in one place.




2. Fundraising tracker, from non-partisan maplight.org. Choose which candidates you want to track.



3. Polling Report: Aggregate of all the recent polls on politics, from which candidate is ahead to Pres. Bush's approval rating.
