Twitter announced the launch of Election 2008 on Twitter. The mashup brings together all US political discussions around the 2008 elections from Twitter.

For example, I twittered, “Will McCain do the debate? Honestly just testing election.twitter.com” and it showed up seconds later on election.twitter.com.

Here is a screen capture of the Twitter Elections mashup:

There are other Twitter mashups for the elections:

• Politweets
