Build a widget for Election Night '08. (We're sure you all can come up with something better than the above)
We live in a democracy. A free country in other words. You are free to do whatever you want with your widget. I think Monica told Bill the same thing in the oral, I mean oval, office. But don't quote me on it. Your widget must at minimum have some sort of live RSS feed. Your widget does not have to be right leaning, or heaven forbid, left. You can frame it however you want.
Example: your widget could have a feed of the latest vote tally.
Your widget will need to be ready to distribute to your friends' desktops by Election Night Nov. 4th.
WE DON'T WANT TO SEE A COUNTDOWN.
