Showing Original Post only (View all)Democratic Underground: Fastest Election News Anywhere. [View all]
I had a number of pages open; Kos, TPM, etc. I had the television on. I tried to make the rounds on a regular basis.
But refreshing the Latest Threads page on Democratic Underground was the fastest method of all. I was five minutes ahead of my wife, who is a news reporter hooked into the mainstream sites. I eventually gave up and stuck to DU.
We're the best. Smartest, fastest, best.
Skinner, Elad, EarlG -- Damn. You've made a monster.

+1 Good one. The content and tone of the discussions here gave a clear indication of who would win.

I checked out CNN and MSNBC and found DU the most efficient and fastest to get the latest.
