Sounds like a fantastic idea! I could see a combination of CRM, calendar, analytics of voting districts or previous voting data, and a ping.fm-style interface to manage the candidates' presence on multiple social sites. If I had to manage a campaign, the closest solution I know of would be CiviCRM http://civicrm.org/ http://civicrm.org/
