Here are the election sites I’m twitchily refreshing every minute
Yeah, this post will likely be completely uninteresting in a few hours.
But for those of us living in the moment, online….
Data analysis sites:
Pollster.com — Live poll analysis and map
Five Thirty Eight — Live poll analysis
Google’s live map — With AP data
Yahoo’s live map — Slick (via Eric Doyle)
News blogs:
Drudge Report — Blaring headlines that seem to be ahead of everyone else
Silicon Alley Insider live blog — Has some links I might otherwise miss
Gawker.com — Has some news I’m not seeing elsewhere
Mainstream media (includes analysis, of course):
CNN.com — Live, interactive map
Fox News — Pretty accurate polls, whatever you think of their political coverage
New York Times — Beautiful map on front page that shows states and counties, seems to be calling stuff early
Wall Street Journal — Another nice map, hasn’t called anything yet
Also, what my friends are saying on Twitter, Friendfeed in real time and Facebook.
For a good roundup of the top MSM and blog news, be sure to follow my long-time favorite, political news aggregator Memeorandum.
