which channel is the best to watch the election returns on? C-span?

[Razoor]

I want to know i want to avoid the spin come election night from the usual talking heads? is c-span going to cover the returns?

1. c-span usually is the best for stuff like this.

[TrueAmerican]

2. I just use the web

If a state is close, I go to the state website and keep on hitting refresh. I beat the networks.

8. I'm TV-less....

I like that idea, TrueAmerican.

Any other suggestions for on-line election night viewing?

C-Span will probably stream it, right? I watched one of the debates that way...

3. Daily show...Isn't it live election night coverage?

12. If I remember, TDS is live but only from 11 to 12.

I personally don't expect any decision by midnight. That's only 2 hours after the west coast polls close.

4. If Kerry runs away with it, CBS will be best.....

I loved watching Dan Rather unsuccessfully try to contain his glee when Bill Clinton walked all over Bush I.

[Lizzie Borden]

7. Yeah, I'm not gonna risk

not seeing Dan Rather. Last time he put in all those goofy comments like "Katie bar the door...." before stating the return. Even though we didn't get the desired outcome, ( landslide for Gore) it was still entertaining to see what he came up with.

9. I intend to tape Dan Rather for just that reason

This election, Dan has a personal - and recent - reason for acting gleeful when a B*sh loses. ;) He ought to be a huge amount of fun to watch!

Throughout Tuesday evening, though, I intend to surf between C-Span and the networks. If the latter are too over the top (Gee, what are the odds?), I'll stick with C-Span until The Daily Show does its live hour-long show. Hopefully, we'll have something to celebrate by that time. :toast: :toast:

5. PBS - if they have continual coverage

if you haven't noticed, CNN is subtlety slanted and uses the old repub tricks of slanted polls and rigged questioning of their guests and commentators.

6. Comedy Central's Daily Show -- 10PM EST Tuesday

Prelude to a recount!!

As The Onion says, make sure your vote recounts!
