So when the networks realize that those who followed Sam Wang and Nate Silver
had great confidence in this outcome months ago...and therefore, far less eyeballs watching their typically vapid "news" sprinkled with endless pharmaceutical ads - how are they going to respond? Think about it - in four years, how many more people will be on line and getting the info/news from the web....
Will they just throw in the towel and go with straight informercials?
I think this is a historic election outcome for that reason as well - not only Obama's victory despite a zillion dollars of right wing attack ads, but four years of constant obstruction....but a whole new way to get far more accurate election results.
