Don't misunderstand us: we are not obsessed with the Democratic National Convention at NewsGator Widgets, even though it may seem that way.  What we are obsessed with is helping our media partners create timely, dynamic, interactive widgets.  This is the reason why we focused on Olympics widgets early in the month, why we're focusing on DNC widgets now, and why we'll bring you some RNC widgets the week of their convention -- plus more political widgets as the election approaches.

Today I have a cool new DNC widget to share with you.  We created a widget for one of our customers, CBS Local, to profile DNC news on the local CBS-owned Denver channel 4.  This one is not only cool looking, but it also shows informative, dynamic coverage of the DNC proceedings.  I especially like that you can toggle between the latest poll or an election countdown at the bottom of the widget.  The latter displays, real-time, the number of days, hours, minutes and seconds until election day!

If you, like me, are a political junkie, you'll want to check this new widget out.  You can click "embed this widget" on the widget shown here or to see it on the local Denver CBS webpage -- it's on the right sidebar -- here.
