PolitweetsA new website called Politweets is displaying the political tweets posted on Twitter. The tweets are seperated into by party with tweets mentioning Democratic candidates on the left side and tweets mentioning Republican candidates on the right. It’s a fun way to track news and people’s opinions of the candidates as we watch to see who is going to get the nomination for each party. Politweets was created by Character140, the people who created Twittertale.com.

An article on WriteNews.com lists some of the political news Twitters such as @politics and @RedState. The article also lists Twitter accounts that are for the Democratic and Republican candidates themselves. Here’s a list of some of the candidates’ Twitter accounts and how many followers they each have.
