Use alternative geocoder

[copelco]

I came across python-omgeo today and think we should start looking into alternative geocoding services. Since we have a map now, I've noticed that the locations from data.dconc.gov are fairly inaccurate.

I used:
http://www.datasciencetoolkit.org
as an initial geocoder. If I have time I will switch it to the google
geocoder since it will probably be the most acurate.

Talked with @victor-rocha today at lunch. We think just going with Google is probably the easiest for now. Implementing this as an admin action would allow us to run it in an ad hoc manner.

Hey I've already done this. I will publish the corrected geo-coded sites
later today. It's already geocoded using google maps. There are still some
corrections but I'll shoot you an email once it's published.
