CNN is going around the clock for Super Tuesday with the cable news net rolling out 40 hours of non-stop political programming for the multi-state primaries. Based at the CNN Election Center in New York, personalities like Wolf Blitzer, Lou Dobbs, Anderson Cooper, Soledad O'Brien and Campbell Brown will guide the special coverage, along with a team of political analysts and reporters.

The CNN Election Center features technology like "multi-touch" and enhanced graphics designed specifically with Super Tuesday in mind and has led to a new way to visualize the races while enabling the network to drill down into county-by-county results and track delegate counts. The marathon started at 6 a.m. with a politics-focused "American Morning," while at noon, CNN and Time magazine will put their top political correspondents in front of a live studio audience.

Three panels, focusing on Democratic, Republican and independent candidates and issues, will be moderated by Blitzer, Cooper and Dobbs. Special prime-time programming will begin at 7 p.m. and run late into the night. Senior political analyst Bill Schneider will review exit poll data. Then there is a special edition of "Larry King Live" at midnight hosted by Larry King and featuring analysis and insight into the results.
