Boycott of MSNBC election coverage
Am I the only one who will no longer be watching MSNBC's election coverage b/c they dropped Matthews and Olbermann?

I'll watch Maddow's show and Harball and Countdown. But when it comes to the debates or election night I'll be watching CNN or CBS.

Which station are you switching over to?

1. C-Span is your friend
I will watch the debates and coverage that I do care to see on C-Span. I don't need endless commercial breaks and talking heads to tell me what I have just seen.

I do not want to lose their voices in the media.

Nothing like shooting yourself in the foot. Deny the ratings to Gregory, but don't punish Keith and Rachel.

6. C-SPAN here - and KO & Rachel's shows
Of course, on election night I expect to be working for Election Protection in some form, so I won't be sitting on my ass at home screaming.
