election coverage online?

Damn, still no working tv picture, and today of all days I'd really like to have picture to go with the sound. Are there any election coverage life feeds?
eta: CNN has feeds. I'm watching Obama vote, and I'm tearing up. Feeling hopeful but at the same time afraid to get my hopes up for fear of getting disappointed, again. And I can't even bring myself to imagine a different outcome.

I wish I could vote today. If the world could vote they could probably call the outcome by noon.

Last time I used the Washington Post to see the coverage. www.washingtonpost.com
I bet Atrios has some links, too. I don't read political blogs anymore, but I suspect you'd have no problem with Atrios. :P

Ah, good, you got the CNN feeds. MSNBC will also be all over it:

Oh GAWD I'm so nervous. It's looking good but the Republican history of chicanery is long and vile, and there's nothing they won't sink to. On the upside, though, this time the Dems used a lot of Obama's record-breaking fundraising to recruit and army of lawyers and they're watching this thing like hawks. They've already beaten off several vote-supression attempts by the Repugs.

EDIT: MSNBC has a live feed button at the top right but I can't seem to get the stupid thing to load. Might be my dumb browser, though.

I couldn't find the feeds on msnbc but come to think of it, it's possible my firewall settings blocked that link.

On the CNN feed they're showing a McCain campaign event right now, so I had the sound off, but just now as I turned it up a little, I hear him say this: "We know how to deal with our enemies and we know how to deal with our friends." Wow, comforting. I hastened to turn the sound off again after that.

Besides, time to have some dinner.

Thanks! I also got the feeds on CNN and MSNBC to work. The NBC one's got Keith Olbermann so I've settled on that for now.
