While many political junkies are used to following election results on the TV, with news anchors reporting the news -- if there is any -- in a more or less orderly fashion, many online politics hounds need a quicker fix. Enter Twitter.

Hillary wins PA, boxing metaphors take over the universe; John McCain is the ultimate winner of PA, and liberal groups keep attacking; Off The Bus provides the sanest coverage of the primary; Willie Horton ad-man Floyd Brown re-emerges; the Lieberman/Lamont hackery fracas rears its ugly head, again; Alan Rosenblatt live on Johnny's Par-tay tonight at 9 ET!; and the Obama campaign posts a video of... Chuck Todd.

There will be a lot going on in Pennsylvania today with the death match between Obama and Clinton coming down to the wire. A huge turnout and lots of new voters are expected which is always worrisome in large states like PA with lots of different municipalities (the Pittsburgh area has the largest number of unique municipalities in one county, Alleghany, in the country) all with their own machinery and rules. There will be a lot of commentary on who voted for whom, but there is another, smaller story worth watching, and that is what happens to the machinery tomorrow.

MySpace and NBC team up for mutual back scratching enhanced campaign coverage; Andrew Romano on headline-happy coverage from the campaign trail; MoveOn announces voting on voter-submitted pro-Obama videos; the Obama money bomb bombs; rural Pennsylvanians shopping at Cabela's prefer Obama to Clinton; IT pros on the election; a profile of Clinton's director of online finance and more confusion about voters and ATM machines; and the YouTubing of politics spreads to the London mayoral race.

The use of Twitter as a discovery vehicle for raw political intelligence takes another step today with Election Journal, a project by Republican election watchdog Mike Roman. The site is using Twitter, Flickr, and Google Maps to cover primary election day in Philadelphia, with Twittering correspondents stationed around the city.

Think Wednesday's ABC debate hurt Obama's chance in next week's Pennsylvania primary? New Yahoo Buzz data and recent offline polls might cause you to think again.

According to data just released by Yahoo, online interest in the candidates among PA voters predictably spiked after the PA debate, but Obama's spike is much more pronounced than Clinton's.

Last night's debate is roundly criticized on liberal blogs; a new site asks Obama supporters to add their testimonials; a London Mayoral candidate will hold a live chat with voters; a nostalgic look at voter-generated video from Eyeblast.tv; James Kotecki gets serious; Obama is Apple, Hillary is Microsoft. Really?; Allison fine, co-editor of our Rebooting America project, will be interviewed live and online next week; and Hillary is following exactly ZERO people on Twitter.

Senator Barack Obama's campaign has demonstrated a willingness to use local online advertising to reach voters in particular primary states. Now, with the important Pennsylvania primary around the corner, Obama for America is kicking it up a notch with new issue-based ads targeted to news sites in the state. Purely focused on persuasion, the ads mark a first for the Obama campaign when it comes to Web advertising, and stand in stark contrast to fundraising ads placed by the Clinton campaign.

I got my meathooks on some juicy new Yahoo! Buzz data showing voters’ searching trends nationally, in Pennsylvania, and in North Carolina. Also, to get a sense of how the web aligns with offline opinion and how it diverges from it, I compared Yahoo’s search trends to real-life polls I’ve used averages from Real Clear Politics, a site that has established itself as the ultimate in political data porn. For me anyway.

TNR on the candidates' Wikipedia entries; email campaigns in PA reveal some odd choices; the first political meta-group in Facebook?; adding YouTube videos to a Googlebombing campaign; and Hillary launches a new PA-focused site and asks for a smidgeon of supporter input.
