How well would you guess CNN will do this year in presenting up-to-date election results
continuously, on Election Night and after?

This year's CNN election coverage is at http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008 .

How well did they do last time? Do you remember? The final 2004 CNN Presidential results page, with 100% of precincts reportin in every state and county, is at http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/president . Did any other network or website do better?

Will it be necessary to try to beat CNN to the latest results by going through http://www.thegreenpapers.com/G08 and other sites to get to official state data and local media coverage?

WHAT'S YOUR OPINION?

IMO CNN did very well last time and should do even better this time. John King's featured exclusive interactive maps will need continuously updated county-by-county results to allow him to "drill down" on the air at any time.

3. I think we're going to have to sanction marriage between man and interactive map soon
Those two are inseparable.
