About : p2p-Politics
From the site:
There is an extraordinary range of political speech that has been created for this election, some of it professionally made, most of it not. We are volunteers who think that it should be easier for people to show other people the content they think they should see before they vote.
We built this peer-to-peer site to enable people to send personalized messages with links to video clips about this election.

SMS/iTV .. Almost
Interspot :: SMS/iTV Applications
So a couple of thoughts here, first, targetted ads on the internet work as I found this site by clicking on an ad. Second, I loathe flash sites. Third, SMS for text commenting on shows is pretty cool but not really that engaging unless there is a reason to do so other than see your name on TV .. How about some participation folks!
Last, I am going to implement this (well not this commercial system, rather my not so commercial system) into ITJ.
Audio programming language with on the fly program changes
ChucK : Concurrent, On-the-fly Audio Programming Language
Watching a demo of ChucK, a nice open source programming language and environment developed by a group at Princeton.
From the site:
ChucK is a new audio programming language for real-time synthesis, composition, and performance, which runs on commodity operating systems. ChucK presents a new time-based concurrent programming model, which supports multiple, simultaneous, dynamic control rates, and the ability to add, remove, and modify code, on-the-fly, while the program is running, without stopping or restarting. It offers composers, researchers, and performers a powerful and flexible programming tool for building and experimenting with complex audio synthesis programs, and real-time interactive control.

Not sure where this fits in the world with PD and Max but it is interesting none-the-less. Uses a circuit board and microcontroller metaphor.
