I had planned on watching current TV but as we no longer have Fios and now have Optimum that is no longer an option.
So its MSNBC for me, while recording FOX for later gloating
I will have my laptop on the couch for checking election results when the networks are moving slow.

(149,712 posts)I like their commentators, especially Michael Beschloss, the Presidential historian. He is extremely intelligent and he gives historical perspective......
Plus, he's gorgeous with a gentle way of speaking that I find irresistable!
Of course, I will have DU!

(22,165 posts)Honestly, I may need to drink (I rarely do this so a little goes a long, long way) and go to sleep.
I am having trouble even listening to political commentary. This needs to be over

(53,410 posts)There will have been a whole day of voting going on in the country by then. Some states will be called or soon be called. I'll watch MSNBC and I'll also be logged into DU.

(10,618 posts)Like every election, I'll watch a couple DVDs and go to bed early.
There's really not a single thing to be gained by hanging on every word from people who won't really know what's going on until the next morning anyway.
I guess that's why I'm not much of a football or basketball fan either. I don't find emotional stress to be "exciting" or pleasant, so I avoid it whenever possible.
ProdigalJunkMail
(12,017 posts)Won't even look until at least Wed...maybe later. Once you cast your vote, watching obsessively and fretting over the whole thing is useless and fruitless. All you'll get (win or lose) is anxiety.

(47,675 posts)In the past (like 30 years) I've always listened to election coverage on NPR. I'll be sleeping through it this year. Throws me off schedule. I don't even stay up for New Year's Eve anymore. I just get drunk and fall down about 9 p.m.

magical thyme
(14,881 posts)But it's gotten really weird lately. It used to be it didn't come in if it was cloudy and rainy. Now it *only* comes in if it's crappy out.
Anyway, PBS and/or DU. With a little to drink and nibble on...

(1,235 posts)so I can watch them call it for Romney at 8:15 or so. But probably somewhere else, so I can see everyone else call it for Obama not long after that. Maybe CNN, to see how that horse race is coming.
