If CBS were still more news than corporate, I'd have Walter Cronkite doing election night coverage.

2. That would be great.
But the man is retired. Maybe he doesn't want to do it.

3. Uncle Walter would show up for this, trust me.
He just hasn't been asked.

6. I think you're right.
I would certainly think that it would help their ratings. Maybe we should all email and call CBS (and maybe even the other networks) and suggest that they ask him.

5. Back in the days of Walter . . .
. . . and later, Dan, I was all about CBS on Election Night.

This year, I'll be channel surfing, I expect. (My cable package doesn't have CSpan.)
