The Washington Post and Slate are both sponsoring new features on Facebook for the 2008 election, reports MediaPost.

The two news organizations have created election-specific features that Facebook users can add to their profiles. The Washington Post's "The Compass" lets people take a quiz to see where they fall on the political spectrum. Slate's "Political Futures" asks users to make a hypothetical $500 bet on the 2008 election's outcome.

Users can see where their predictions stand in relation to bets placed by others in their network.
