Breaking records at CNN.com

TechCrunch already has a story this morning on our numbers from yesterday.  I have now participated in 4 Election cycles with CNN.com, each time breaking records.  Of course today will likely upset the numbers from yesterday but it is still great to see us do so well. 

It is wild to think back on how far we have advanced in covering this event.  From the 1996 Election where our results system was a Webmaster huddled over his computer and Election terminal to now where a full team of developers has built and supported a system feeding both TV and the web.

I have the benefit of leading an outstanding team that made this look easy.  Kudos to all of them for the hard work and preparation for last night.
