What is going to be the best channel to watch election returns?
I want to watch Kerry win without hearing Wolf and Judy and Bill Schneider bleating endlessly and trying to spin Kerry's win. Should I watch them on CBS? Dan Rather seems pretty fair.

1. FAUX - for the comedy
Although now that Mush Limpdick is apparently going to be on NBC, that should be funny too.

2. CSPAN?
I think that they would have the least amount of spin-that or maybe PBS.

3. Probably C-SPAN
But you HAVE to make sure you tape FOX so you can play it over and over when they have to call Kerry the winner. Also make sure to get Bush's concession speech. It's gonna be wonderful.

5. MSNBC will be the worst
Way too many screaming pundits. Their whole setup is absolutely annoying.

I'll put it on a local channel (probably CBS), but surf around. The Daily Show is supposed to be doing something, though.

7. Comedy Central, probably
Jon Stewart said TDS will be broadcasting live for an hour on Tuesday evening. I think it'll be the only station besides C-Span without the pukeworthy bushpundits.

11. I'll be watching CBS
Dan Rather is always good for a laugh during these sorts of things. I'll probably tape "The Daily Show" instead of watching it live.

13. I'll probably watch NBC
I'll probably avoid Tweety and the talking heads on MSNBC. But I usually enjoy NBC's television coverage for elections. I find Brokaw fine. And there's Russert with his white board.
