Election blogs for kids?

Election blogs for kids? I'm looking for resources to help my elementary-school-age child follow the presidential race -- not just encyclopedia-style background information, but frequent updates from the news. Has anyone found good resources for (or by) kids?

I like electoral-vote.com. I don't know if it is an appropriate level for your kids, though, as it may be more advanced. It is mostly polling results that the webmaster uses to make predictions of who will win what states, and therefore the overall election.

Best answer: Your kids might enjoy Scholastic News Online's coverage. They have kid reporters following the campaign and (I believe) near daily updates. It's not a blog, though.
