There's a #hashtag for that
an archive of microblogging about politics

This is a collection of streams of twitter messages about politics. The streams for which data collection is complete are available for perusal and analysis. There is a steady stream moving from work in progress to data collection complete. So you might want to return from time to time. If you follow my Twitter account I will announce when new streams are available. All that I ask is that you remember to cite the source when you use them in scholarship -- instruction and research.
