Who Needs Dan Rather?

This election's as tight as the pages in a book and shakier than cafeteria jello.

You're going to need info when it's too early to say who has the whip hand.

The Poynter Institute pointed me to a bunch of great election counting information.

You can set up your own "Election Central" in you rliving room and start predicting a winner as soon as the polls close.

The Wall Street Journal has an interactive electoral college map. You can keep a running tally as the state results come in.

The National Archives & Records Administration has tons of information on past electoral college votes. You can see how states voted in past elections at the NARA site, and find out the schedule for key dates for casting and counting the electoral vote.

There are links to all state election websites. And the National Conference of State Legislatures gives you links to party control of statehouses and governor's offices up for grabs in today's election.

If a frog had side pockets he'd carry a handgun -- whatever that means.

(Thanks to the Poynter Institute for the links & About.com for the Dan Ratherisms)
