MSNBC’s nifty election map

Microsoft’s joint coverage of the election with NBC on MSN gives Microsoft Subnet an excuse to blog about the

election. So here goes … MSNBC includes an “election dashboard” with links to live video, news stories, bloggers, etc. It also includes a nifty map (built with Flash, not Silverlight) that has all you ever wanted to know. There’s the prediction map, the historical map of which states went red and blue in the 2004 election, and call-outs that tell you where the candidates are speaking today.

If you are not an MSNBC fan, every other news Web site in the nation is doing much the same. For the comprehensive list of links of Election Web 2.0, check out Computerworld’s John Brandon’s blog. As for the election itself, we’re not telling you who we favor … but we encourage you to stop what you are doing (right now) and go vote.
