I have been working on a MAXmsp patch that is my comment on the election.
It's called "Blah Blah Blah Election 2012"
In it, I created an interface between two different videos feeds -- Obama at the DNC and Romney at the RNC. For Romney's portion, I added a special timed jitter feature that makes him look kind of rainbow-ish / demonic / strange.
These videos both feed into a 4 X 4 grid of separate screens.
A fader in the middle controls the amount each feed goes into the grid.
I run a video analyzer on each portion of the grid. When it hits a threshold value (which I set) on its minimum color value, it triggers a sample.
For the samples, I recorded myself saying "blah blah blah" using 14 different notes, most consonant but a few dissonant. Audience applause is triggered once the volumes of the "blah blah blahs" reach a certain volume.
Here is a screenshot of the interface:
