1. Did he get fired from Current TV?

I heard he was off that channel now too....

[Beaverhausen]

3. Yes, he's off Current but I think that was mutual

[Third Doctor]

4. Keith was fired off of Current too.

I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt with MSNBC but the second firing was probably due to his ego imo. I do miss his coverage these days.

[Third Doctor]

2. I sure do! I liked it so much I saved it to my hard drive.

I'll never forget that night!

5. Thank you!

6. I remember. I won the pool bet for when the election will be called.

The knuckleheads I was hanging out with didn't grasp the "wait til the polls close on the west coast" concept. LOL

We'll see if they have good memories this time around. By 10 central time O should have it wrapped up and waiting for the polls to close in California.

12. i was watching that night too...

he dead panned the announcement at the top of the hour.. th when they had been playing that has to go through Michigan stuff al night... When KO announced that Obama had won i immediately stated crying tears of joy... then started whooping and scared the damn cat...

7. My GOD!

You guys just brought tears to my eyes! And yes, they were full on water that night, and I'm a grown ass man! LOL I'm really sit in my office hoping nobody comes in right now LOL! We got to have a repeat of that night again!

8. Huffington Post has a story about his possible return

In Forbes Magazine---sources that said that Olbermann reached out to multiple networks, which "include both cable outlets and at least one broadcast network."

9. And they will say:

"Fuck no you egotistical blowhard."

[LoisB]

10. Oh, I wish. Maybe he has learned how to play well with others. I even miss Fridays with Thurber.

[DrToast]

11. Maybe Fox News can pick him up

13. wow...just made cry

[smorkingapple]

14. I watched that moment live. Sent chills down my spine...

Recorded a video of my children sleeping as they announced it since I couldn't keep them up that long.

Can't wait to show them when they get older.

16. I remember that so clearly

I put on "Fanfare for the Common Man" and stood on my deck in the dark and gave a sigh of relief and of thanks.

Then I had some pie

17. Notice VA, NC, and FL were not called at 11pm EST

That basically means they won't be called in 2012 any earlier. I hope that the election won't hinge on those states. For surely the midwestern states will be in hand and they can call the race at 11pm EST.

19. CNN called Virginia at 10:55

Right before they called the election. Not sure which got more cheers at the AFL-CIO party.

18. Just teared up

[blazeKing]

20. Watching this again brings tears to my eyes

I remember that night..in college. EVERYONE piled out of the dorms and erupted in celebration. The campus police came and joined in!

[Major Hogwash]

21. Great post.

Yeah, those were good times.
