What channel to watch on election night? Who'll have the most numbers

and the fewest talking heads telling me what to think about the numbers?

In '04 I just flipped around all evening, but it wasn't very satisfying (even given the outcome).

Whatta y'all think?

nt

Olbermann and Maddow

:evilgrin:

Good steady Jim Lehrer, and Michael Beschloss do it for me!

or something to soothe us. Nothing adds calm to me like puppies fighting over a football.

hmm?

covering the elections at all - taped programming, if I remember right. I almost wonder if I had the wrong channel, but I dodn't think I did.

Same with our PBS stations. I guess election coverage is a big enough production that not everyone can do it.

and there is nothing more enjoyable than watching Pat Buchanan go ape shit! It's just a glorious thing to behold.

We are SO doing this if PA and VA go for Obama.

at their glum faces.

:D

If Obama wins, I will then watch Fox for the rest of the night, watching them all shit in their pants.

about channel's i'm not watching and if anyone interesting is on.

i like CNN in terms of that map they have and just overall organization in reporting and updating outcomes. but i will move around to see what others are saying.

interesting. Chris was such a hoot when the Dems took control of the Congress in 2006! I can't wait to see a repeat when the Dems take 60 Senate seats and a super majority in the House! Chris gets sooooo excited and crazy!

Before they call a state they wait until they are SURE. I love the exciting feeling you get from seeing the program pundits standing and walking around. I love the giant screen behind Wolf as they count down and then do that splash before telling you if the state is too close to call or not.

I will flip around to other channels. I like MSNBC's commentary because Chris Matthews is one of my favorite commentators, and I will watch some of their channel to see what Matthews is saying about the results. But as the states come in... I like to have it tuned to CNN to see the actual numbers.

I may, also, check out FOX just so I can see their meltdown. I try to avoid schaudenfreuda but... damn... it would be sweet to flip over there and see the look on their faces.

I'll be switching between CNN and MSNBC mainly.

I'll probably be back to the flipping around thing.

They always leave me in a happy place. I will miss Tim Russert this election.

probably flipping back & forth, with the occasional nah-nee, nah-nee, boo-boo peak at faux.

and their multimillion dollar toys that they'll never play with again.

I mock, but I'm just jealous.

He's such a McCain shill. If Obama wins, he's almost guaranteed to poo-poo it and say, "why didn't Obama win by 20%?"

I will say this...Fox projects winners faster than any other network, while CNN is the slowest. I've noticed that. I'll probably just watch the regular NBC or CNN.

Then I'll watch MSNBC.

For numbers, my friend the internet. Thats my plan. With intermittent visits to MSNBC, and perhaps others.

And, switch back and forth to CNN also.

I wanna see them shit their pants when Obama wins. :popcorn:
