R or D, you’ve gotta give it up to the Obama campaign for pushing the envelope on new technology in the campaign. Today, TechPresident posts about a new Iphone application that is supposed to work as your personal GOTV organizer. Among the features it has is the ability to organize your contacts by state of importance, quick access to Obama’s policy positions, and a database of local Obama events in the area.

The value of this app is to facilitate the “neighbor to neighbor” elements of GOTV efforts that proved so successful for the Bush campaign in 2004. The Obama IPhone application was actually volunteer created and ultimately adopted by the campaign. It’s a testament to the open source nature of some (not all) aspects of the campaign that its volunteers take such ownership over the campaign process.
