Because I Can't Write One Myself

Help me find the website that will remind me how politically isolated I am among my peers.
In the run-up to the 2004 presidential election, I found a really neat website. It had a map where you could locate yourself and list your political affiliation. You could invite other people to the site where they could do the same thing, and you could see them on the map and actually "play back" the sequence of signups so you could see how the meme spread. It would also show you some nice graphs as to the political makeup of the people in your social network.
I seem to remember the name being something like "TakeThePledge" or somesuch. Is it still around? Lost to history? Is there anything similar?

There's http://www.politicalcompass.org/index- it has a Facebook application that allows you to compare your views with your friends. There's also a Facebook application called "friend sense" that might work like that, except none of my friends will use it, so I'm not sure.
