With that in mind, or perhaps to ensure it, USA Today has announced a partnership with ABC News to “report from every state in the nation during the 50 days leading up to the presidential election.”

ABC News’ anchors and correspondents and USA Today‘s reporters and photographers will report on one state each day in the run-up to the historic vote on November 4.
If nothing else we are all going to come out of this election season with an excellent sense of US geograpahy and an excessive knowledge of the difference between caucuses and primaries. What the media will do for news stories post-November is another question altogether.
