Election night blogs

Not surprisingly, nearly every major news site has one or more Weblogs blogging the election -- not to mention all the independent bloggers out there. Blogging has clearly gone from an independent hobby that a few news sites dabbled in to a tool that news sites now see as a routinue part of covering major events.

Here are just a few of the election-night blogs major news sites are running:

• Knight Ridder's America Votes
• nytimes.com's Times on the Trail
• Watching the Returns With Frank Bruni
• Newsplex/Cingular Wireless Election Connection
• USAToday.com's ElectionLine
• CNN.com's Blogwatch
• CNN.com's Behind the Scenes Election Night Blog
” CNN.com's Election Night Campus Blog”
• BBC's Blogging the Election
• BBC's reporters logs: America Votes
• MSNBC's Hardblogger
• MSNBC's Election Ticktock
• MSNBC's Bloggerman
• MSNBC's Congressman Joe
• MSNBC's Sidebar
• Cleveland Plain Dealer's Decision 2004
• Milwaukee Journal Senintel Election 2004

For independent blogs, you're best bet is to monitor technorati's page of rising and falling links from authoritative political bloggers.
