Eventful

Discover, share, and create grassroots political events. Get involved! Demand your favorite candidates come to your town.

techPresident is now tracking Eventful demands:

While each campaign is trying to galvanize its support base, something new is happening online: grassroots supporters of the candidates are using a new tool from Eventful.com, an events database, to request, or "demand" in Eventful's parlance, that the candidate come to their city. So far, no candidate has directly responded to this bottom-up aggregation of voter attention, but several have adopted their Eventful pages. Could this be the first sign of "candidate-relationship management" from below?
