My (limited) understanding is that the raw tiger data from the census 
bureau needs some sort of conversion into shape file form, either by 
compiling in GDAL or by using external tools.  I have neither working 
right now, so I downloaded the 2000 data that ESRI provides as shape 
files.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply otherwise; I should have been a little 
clearer. The code is there and I'm sure it works if you have everything 
built correctly. I'm having trouble on my Mac os X box getting all the 
parts and pieces installed so I can use all the neat stuff that 
GDAL/OGR support brings with it.  That's why I said "when I get it to 
work" and not "when they get it work".  (:
