Google: Web Surfers Hungry For Election Info

As voters head to the polls today, it looks like they're also looking for information about how McCain and Obama are faring, as 87 of the top 100 Google search queries today are election related. "Exit polls 2008" is number one and "mail delivery on election day" is at the 100th spot on a recently-updated list of Google search trends.
