AP has a live stream of stories, polls and election results
The Brit in our office prefers the BBC’s coverage of the election

I thought Barack Obama’s speech inspiring; but John McCaine’s concession speech was a class act.
I attend a lot of webinars and conferences about non-dues revenue, including Non Dues-A-Palooza. At all of these events, there are presentations and discussions about new products and new partnerships that associations can invest in and offer to their members. I realized recently that hardly anyone is talking about AMS (association management system) as a revenue generator; this makes no sense...
