1. Good question. I'll go with C-Span. For the most part, there's no sleazy
advertizing from outside companies and they generally use their indoors voices to speak.

2. ESPN.
I can avoid all the misguided speculation that way.

6. MSNBC, although no Chris fan. CNN is out because of Glenn Beck. Comedy Central will be good choice
Having that jaw-droppingly obnoxious ignoramus Beck on as a "commentator" makes CNN a no-go in my book. I watched Anderson Cooper talk to him after New Hampshire, and you could almost literally see Cooper's skin crawl from having to take that doofus seriously. Also, they often have Bill Bennett on, and he's another cockroach. MSNBC has Keith. Faux is only to surf to for the theater of the absurd, as among its many other sins, it gives Hannity a platform to spew hate disguised as "analysis." CSPAN is a good choice.

Once Comedy Central gets its act together around Indecision 2008, that will be a good choice, too.

7. Do they actually use Beck? (barf)
During New Hampshire, I thought they had Wolf, John King, and Cafferty on set?

Although, I only flipped to CNN -- so I don't really remember.

13. Sadly, yes. He wanted all of us to "get over" race and gender.
Saw nothing historic in having a black man or woman as serious contenders for the presidency. Like Stephen Colbert, he claimed not to see race or gender; it has never mattered, so why don't we all get over it and quit mentioning it? Anderson Cooper was mortified - that was obvious. There was nothing for him to say to the idiot.

8. MSNBC
The main reason? I'm hoping Rachel Maddow will be around. I like watching Keith Olbermann also, and those two actually make Chris Matthews entertaining (mostly when they're calling him on some of his stupid statements).

Because, as the best of a bad lot, it has Keith Olbermann on it.

10. I'm boycotting all Cable/Satellite TV companies
If I want to see anything concerning the primaries and elections, I'll watch C-Span online. ;)

16. C-SPAN
Get the political content without the interruptions of assholes like Leslie Blitzer, Tweety Matthews and Chuck Fraud.
