This is pretty cool. Twitter can be a very effective communication tool when the user has a clear message. If done correctly it allows for a personal touch to go out with messages. I'm a big fan of people that aren't afraid to be hip and modern with their political communiqué.
I only whish I understood more about the twitter API. A ton of cool geographic apps could be made with all the information that Twitter spits out by the second!
I went ahead and mapped the followers data based on your list.
Check it out and feel free to use the image if you wish.

Also,
I've been commenting on your blog but they don't show up. Did you get the latest one on the Twitter post?
Hmmm. No, I'll have to check my settings. Thanks for the heads up.
