There have been a lot of debates and primaries for the Republican candidates President of the United States, and there will be many more. In order to keep up with what Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul are saying and what campaign events they’re holding, Simple Tree has released Presidential Election 2012, a free app that puts all of the information in one easy-to-use app.

As the 2008 presidental contest heats up, the candidates are increasingly taking advantage of technology and social media to connect with their supporters. Today, the Obama campaign released an iPhone/iPod Touch application which will allow supporters to track and coordinate their volunteering efforts, as well as receive updates regarding their candidate.

What’s interesting to me is that the app also adds a competitive element, allowing users to track the calls they’ve been making against a leaderboard.

For those who cannot get enough of this year’s rhetoric filled political conventions, this is for you. Audio and video clips are available on iTunes from both the Democratic National Convention in Denver and the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul. With the rather obscene amount of prime-time convention coverage, you would think people have had enough politics to satiate themselves for a little while, but someone, somewhere, thinks otherwise.
