One of the best things that can be done in persuading someone to vote for or against a candidate is often times letting them see the real person. Not the rhetoric. Not the media hype. Not the Rose Colored Glasses view of the candidate, but the real person.

As is often the case during greatly contested political races, candidates tend to stretch the truth, forget what they have already said (or written) and make up stuff that helps bolster their case. If you want proof, look at Kerry’s run for election in 2004, or look at Bidens’ fantasies….

This political season has been no different, except that the media has been focusing on EVERYONE except for one of the main candidates himself due to their self appointed righteousness and need for “their guy” to be declared the winner. In his latest series of articles, Thomas Sowell takes a look at the real Obama and isn’t too sure he likes what he sees.

The media may finally be looking at the Ayers links, the Rezko links and his links to fanny mae and freddie mac (of which he was one of the largest recipients of donations!) organizations.

So a friend is attending some conference somewhere and in one of the sessions he was in he learned of twitter.zappos.com. Apparently, the shoe GOD zappos has instituted a twitter feed to their site that allows visitors to see the good and bad of the twittersphere when it comes to zappos. Simply mention the word zappos in a twit and you’re in the feed. its rather cool and its led me on a search for a plugin that does the same…

I came across two that are kind of similar the first is Twitter Fountain. TF creates a flash like animation of whatever the search term you specify. Its ok but not really what I’m looking for…

The other is closer. TwitterDoodle searches the twits and creates a post based on your search and search intervals. The post can be posted to the front page or not and you can create as many searches as you’d like. Its actually a pretty cool tool. Here’s a post of the mentions of Delusions of Grandeur (not just this website but any time those words come up in a twitter!) in the twittersphere. How cool is that??

If you have another twitter tool you’re using, let me know about it….
