In the UK, the main three political parties produced iPhone apps for this year's General Election - much like what you're talking about here with the midterms, there was a complete mix of apps, some focussed on existing campaigners, some just 'mobile manifestos, and others which attempted to do both.

The problem we've seen from a user perspective though was that the apps were very little use after the election, at the end of the campaign. At the agency I work for, Public Zone, we've been looking at how we can use mobile to help our Members of Parliament connect more regularly and effectively with the people they represent, and we released an app called MyMP with funding from an organisation called NESTA.

I'd really like to hear what everyone thinks about it - we have a website at http://www.my-mp.org.uk and a little blog at http://mympapp.wordpress.com
