This was our first Facebook application. It was released in the spring of 2008, just as the 2008 US Presidential election was coming under full public attention. As such, it is still available for use, but no longer supported or updated.

From the original copy:

Like a Candidate was created out of a need to clarify politics in an engaging, social way. The team that created Like a Candidate comes from a wide variety of technical, social, and political backgrounds.
