Election 2008 Sites For Kids & Moms

UPDATE: 8:00 PST  YEAH TO PRESIDENT ELECT OBAMA!!

Here are some election websites to show your kids:

• PBS.org Vote 2008 (with Interactive Newshour/NPR map)
  
• Time for Kids
• Scholastic News Online
• Family.com Election 2008 Printables
• America.gov's Election 2008 page
• KidZui Election '08 page (where kids choose to be online friends with candidates..)

This is a great time to teach kids about the election process. Even better - TAKE THEM WITH YOU TO VOTE! 

Moms will be getting their news from multiple news sources. But here are some interesting sites:

• The Motherhood has a circle where moms call in the vote if you want to share your story.
• I will be following the election online and on Twitter (CBS News will be providing breaking news, news updates and state-by-state results on Twitter at http://twitter.com/cbsnews throughout Election Day and into the night) and their online website. On the CBS News with Katie Couric website, I found a video called "Campaign '08 Inspires Kids".
• MOMocrats has the Google Election Map up in a post, and information on Election Protection, where to call in voter problems (1-866-OUR-VOTE Hotline, or visit: www.866ourvote.org).
• Silicon Valley Moms Group bloggers will be posting with their thoughts before and after the election.
• DailyKos: State of the Nation
• Huffington Post

Obama won the Scholastic Kid's Election Poll by the way, kids know best...

You forgot Weekly Reader! Weekly Reader has been covering elections for kids for more than 100 years. And in 13 of 14 contests, kids have accurately chosen the winning candidate for president. Guess who they chose this year by a landslide?

Yep, Obama!
