“Barack Obama’s campaign recently launched a new Apple iPhone [and iPod touch] application,” Ed Hornick reports for CNN.
“Over the weekend, the campaign launched a volunteer-developed application that iPhoners can download. “Obama ’08″, which is free through the Apple.com iTunes store, features several options aimed at supporters and undecided voters,” Hornick reports.
• The “Call Friends” tab allows users to use their electronic phonebook to call contacts
• The “Get Involved” option gives iPhoners the phone numbers to [various] Obama campaign headquarters
• “News” features statements put out by the Obama campaign
Hornick reports, “Naturally, like any good campaign tool, the Obama iPhone application comes complete with a fundraising pitch.”

MacDailyNews Take: Now, if they could just get get Obama to dump his antiquated BlackBerry for an iPhone.
MacDailyNews Note: There are several Obama, McCain, and politics-related apps in Apple’s App Store. See them all here.
Hey everyone, lets keep the discussion respectful. Show other blogs that Mac users can be civil.
Go Obama!!!
Nice. Going to get it now.
I can see it now. Expect the McCain camp to come out with some kind of RIM job…
McTaint!
G4Dualie, clever, but not quite what I had in mind. Oh well, I gave it a shot.
Go Obama!!
@Richard
Great idea, lets keep it civil!
Go Mccain!!!!
Probability that it will get sophomoric, nasty, cruel and hate and FUD filled with a good dose of hoaxes, lies and misinformation?
99.999999%
Wait. Maybe that’s too optimistic.
@ Richard
In other words, don’t say anything bad about Obama.
Someone should wake up twilightmoon.
He lives for these threads.
Hey Richard! Is this disrespectful? Betcha you won’t do your homework…just like Windows defaultees. http://www.anncoulter.com/
Welcome to reality.
@ Pickle’s Pig Foot
No, it means don’t say anything bad about Sarah Palin.
Finally, it’s appropriate to discuss politics on MDN, at least in this thread. Be nice.
Before this conversation goes completely off the rails…
Our nonprofit would like to do something similar. Can anyone suggest a resource for connecting with good developer?
TIA
What a waste.
If anything, Barack Obama should launch a Supreme Court application and urge Sarah Palin to buy an iPhone or iPod touch and download it. Then maybe she’ll actually learn about some of the landmark cases that interpret the law of the land before, God forbid, she possibly gets in a position to appoint justices.
This thread is a waste of space. Ron Paul is right about the economy and right about the two presidential candidates. They are empty suits filled with empty promises. In my humble opinion those who vote for either of the two village idiots deserve exactly what they get. Loss of liberty!
