So which network will you be watching on election night?
I was going to go w/MSNBC before they decided to pull KO out of there & replace him w/David Gregory....Not too fond of Gregory.....Perhaps I'll try CBS this year...Then again, I'll probably be flipping stations (as well as being logged on to DU!)....

1. If CSPAN covers it, then I'll watch them. Otherwise, CNN. I'll be logged on DU regardless.

18. do we have an emergency plan for that night? Has Skinner prepped his IT people
I heard that we blew a circuit breaker last week, and I hope that we have dedicated lines for the INSANE amount of traffic coming on NOV 4.

6. I'll be switiching back and forth
Does PBS and CSPAN have election night coverage? I know I'll be switching to local news occasionally to see my local results. I'm hoping our congressperson will get replaced by a Democrat.

7. I'll probably skip around a few different channels.
After a while the coverage on one channel starts getting repetitive so go to another channel for a different spin on events.

8. If Dan Rather has an election night show on HDNet, I'll watch it on that channel.
Edited on Sun Oct-05-08 03:27 PM by Connie_Corleone
If not, then probably MSNBC and C-Span. Back and forth. And of course DU if the website doesn't crash.

9. I don't know if I can tolerate David Gregory in order to have some Keith.
That may be too big a price to pay, looking at Gregory's monkey-face and listening to the poop that comes out of his mouth.

Eww!

I may have to watch C-span.

11. This will be a tough one
I have a class on Tues nights. It starts at 7pm CA time so we might know the outcome before class. Or I could just cut class. I doubt I'll be the only one. It's in Berkeley and everyone is very energized around Obama.

I will either be too excited to do the work or too depressed. Either way, I'll be useless in class.

NBC and ABC (duel tuner DVR)

and on my other TV I will record

CBS and CNN.

I'll then record the repeat of MSNBC.

When the Networks are off or not covering the election, I'll be with CNN and MSNBC.

27. CNN
I think they are the most impartial new network, i just wish they'd stop prefacing every show and introduction with "The best political team around..."
I mean maybe it's true, but enough already, you just look cocky.
