I don't think any media specifically regarding an election has come close to surpassing the Chicago Tribune the day after the Dewey/Truman election. It comes close today though. I was watching CBS news tonight, and then NBC and both carried a story on the number of journalists covering the candidates - 2 for McCain (yes, that is correct - only two) and too many to count for Obama on a daily basis. McCain's website is even doing a poll on it:

This is rather interesting:
