There will be no shortage of alternative coverage of the 2008 US presidential election. One example is Off the bus, where Arianna Huffington and Jay Rosen team up to recruit around 40 bloggers to cover the candidates (one blogger is dedicated to following one candidate). The best posts will be featured on the Off the bus page. See Rosen explain the initiative in this video. Or read more about it.

Jeff Jarvis has his PrezVid, “The YouTube campaign 2008”. See also the Washington Post Channel 08 blog.
