MSNBC will be reporting on all things blog during Election night. They are adding a 'Blogger's Cafe' to 'Democracy Plaza' which will be coordinated by Trippi with Powerline's Hineraker and the Wonkette on hand. They are also going to have a number of 'Citizen Journalists' sending in reports. I imagine they will report things coming from DKos and other major blogs

Excerpt from
NBC Press Release
MSNBC Political Analyst Joe Trippi will be joined by Ana Marie Cox of "Wonkette" and John Hinderaker of "Powerline" for up-to-the-minute analysis of what's happening on the web from the MSNBC Bloggers' Cafe at "Democracy Plaza." Online, the MSNBC blogging team, led by Trippi, will produce four live blogs for MSNBC.com, covering every key aspect of Election Day. MSNBC's Bloggers' Cafe at www.TV.MSNBC.com will host Chris Matthews' Hardblogger which will cover all things Presidential while Keith Olbermann's blog, Bloggermann, focuses on Senate, House and gubernatorial races, and key state propositions. Joe Scarborough's blog, Congressman Joe, will put the media in the spotlight. Dan Abrams' blog, Sidebar, will cover voting issues and the legal angles surrounding the election. Each blog will showcase not only Trippi's blogging team and MSNBC talent but will introduce new contributors to MSNBC.com-- Citizen Journalists. The Citizen Journalists will be viewers and netizens helping us document this historical day through their own personal blogging. The Citizen Journalists will report from their areas on what they personally see happening at the polls and on the streets on Election Day.
