I've been working on a similar election project that utilizes Twitter: <a href="http://anorangeamerica.com/" rel="nofollow">Freshly Squeezed Tweets</a>. It aggregates tweets like Twitter Vote Report, but it creates a more abstract visualization of the aggregate conversation on Twitter showing frequency and context of election-related words. The site will pull a continuous stream of tweets mentioning Obama and McCain, representing the most-used terms as a series of bubbles. The bigger the "bubble" the more frequently the term is being used. You can hover over each word to see a graphical breakdown of each word's use.
