Does anyone know who will beon the regular broadcast networks?
I'd like to watch MSNBC (especially to see Chuckie Toad's sad face). but I'd also like to go over to watch it with my son who doesn't have cable.

That is, after Obama crosses the 270 mark. Want to see Megyn Kelly's mascara running all over her face and hear her uncontrollable sobbing.

There will be lots of crying foul and complaining that people didn't get to vote or the Dems rigged it, etc. etc.

"...the White House is in a big snarl over the Benghazi classified emails that were leaked to Fox News (but amazingly, to no one else!)..." while they try to turn the post-2012 election era into another post-1972 election era.

MSNBC - Watch for expressions on Chris Matthews' face. If he is looking upbeat, it is a sign that he has gone through some earlier data which is positive. If he looks very worried, things are going bad. If he is pensive but not totally unhappy, it is a close race. I think the third option is more likely.

FOX News- Reverse. If they seem to be making excuses and look grim, we are good.

CBS tends to be neutral.

Leaving aside the cable networks, if a person wants to watch coverage as straight as possible on election night... where do you look? NBC/Williams? CBS/Pelley? or ABC/Sawyer?

For some reason I think I prefer Diane Sawyer even though I know she came up on Nixon's staff...

Log in the day before and don't log out, in case, hahahah, in CASE?, we get to DEFCON ONE.
There will be so many threads going, you won't be able to keep up.
But DU is THE place to be on election night. Will be my third time this coming Tuesday.
GO OBAMA!
