16. aw that's unfortunate
David Gregory I mean. I was hoping Keith would be there to call it at 8:05 Eastern! ;) Maybe he'll be there as a commentator though?

C-span will be taking wing-nut calls and spoiling it for me. Hm, maybe I'll have to go to one of the networks. CBS maybe.

31. I think Gregory is kind of moderating the evening. Most of the reporting
will be Keith, Mathews, and Rachel.

37. Nobody had better be calling shit at 8:05 EST!
If Obama takes every state on the East Coast, great. But this race cannot be called at least until the polls are closed on the West Coast. Californians have Prop 8 to kill, Washingtonians need to keep Fucking Pig Rossi from stealing the governor's mansion. I don't know what's going on in Oregon, but it couldn't hurt them either. We need every voter to show up, whether or not Obama's got it wrapped up at 5:00

30. I watched Fox News from about 9 PM to 2 AM for the 2006 election
It was the train wreck I couldn't keep my eye off of. I didn't even move to go to the bathroom. It was amazing to watch all the dour and glum faces. If I'm at home Tuesday night, I'll do the same thing.

9. MSNBC. Maybe. I'm still pissed that they're not going to do the Olbermann/Matthews co-anchor.
David Gregory will suck ginormous donkey balls by comparison.

It's bad enough that we won't have Russert bouncing around all red-faced and excited, but I REALLY loved watching Olbermann and Matthews together on big primary nights.

12. I'll be watching CNN for these reasons:
I WILL NOT GIVE ANY CREDENCE OR RATINGS TO DAVID GREGORY. HE HAS PROVEN IN THIS ELECTION CYCLE THAT HE IS IN THE BAG FOR THE REPUBLICANS. DID YOU SEE HIM ON LENO THE OTHER NIGHT. HE MIGHT AS WELL HAVE ADMITTED HE IS PAID BY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

With that little rant said, I will be switching over periodically to see Keith and Rachel.

But I just can't help myself, I like John King and his map work. And I think he is more concerned with facts on the ground.

Also, a plus with CNN, I get to watch the absolute glee wash over Paul Begala, whom I love!, and then later on, I get to watch Alex Castalanos develop a severe eye twitch that he will never recover from!!!!!!!!!!!

20. Early, I'll probably be watching the local news. I will be at our state
senate nominees watch party. Whenever I leave there, I'll be watching MSNBC mostly, but I will definetly switch over to faux from time to time to see how they're spinnig, and hopefully catch a tear or two. Might check in with stephanopolis too.

35. Mostly MSNBC
When Keith, Rachel, or Tweety is on. Might change the channel when Douche Gregory or Joe Dead Intern start whining (though at least Dead Intern has already admitted the Repukes would lose).

After the election is called for Obama, I'll switch over to FAUX for the comedy. :rofl:

45. Same here
but KO and Chris should be fun as well. Plus, we will get to see Pat Buchanan's head explode.

Won't be able to resist Faux Noise once the POTUS has been called. With any luck, some of their talking heads will commit seppuku on camera.

I'll flip between all of them.. MSNBC is great, but it's like the whole "preaching to the choir" thing.. CNN pisses me off sometimes - but they seem to be somewhat in the middle.. and I'll watch Fox just to see heads explode. I've been waiting 8 friggin years to watch Fox on 11/04/08. I can't wait!
