Pshh. Anyone whose vote is swayed by a clearly labeled "fun experiment" will be swayed by far more ubiquitous manipulations. irresponsible? Pshh.

Another thing it could mean is that McCain fans are less likely to be vocal about their support. Like the people above said, this might only say more Obama has more twitter fans.

An interesting slant would be charting the 'influence factor' according to each tweet's following network and their geographic dispersion but I digress ;-) Curious to know which approach to scoring you used for the tweets :-) I love this kind of stuff, great use of the twitterverse.

The demographics of twitter completely fail to align with the demographics of registered voters. I even find this borderline irresponsible to even publish, albeit a fun experiment. Perhaps you should just do a better job making it clear how this will not likely represent the election results in any way. This might have been fun to build, but it’s an outright bad idea.
