What channel to watch election returns on?
I am not sleeping til I know where Ohio, Penn, and Florida have gone, as least as far as we will know tomorrow night.

So...what to watch? CNN? Does CSPAN run results? Maybe Fox to see them throw hissy fits as millions of new voters go for KErry.

2. I'll watch CNN
Their big wall will show all the states results simultaneously... Lot's of info there.

Fox will be terrible.

I think Rush will be on CBS but I am not sure.

5. I'll be flipping like a madman
but definitely to Faux when a swing state goes for Kerry, just to watch the brain matter hit the camera lens.

Fuck, I hadn't really thought about what channel to watch. Probably have to stick with a network so I can see the local returns as well.

What time will the returns start coming in? I can't abandon Gilmore Girls from 8-9, I guess I'll flip to the locals during commercial breaks. Real returns won't come in til after 9, right?

10. I've got to watch MSNBC
I want to watch Tweety twist himself into a pretzel as the returns come in. And to watch Mrs. Greenspan as her hero goes down. :-)

12. I tend to watch CBS
I may flip over to NBC to listen to Tom saying an endless stream of good-byes, but I'll stay tuned to Rather for most of the night.

13. No idea about which network, but you realize you'll be up for
several days? No way this election will be decided tomorrow. I mean, I hope I'm wrong, but just in case, you better stock up on coffee!!

15. mainly networks
I'm mainly going to be watching CBS or ABC, with a little bit of C-SPAN depending on how they do things.

I've had it with the cable networks and their rush to satisfy the lowest common denominator.

And of course, Comedy Central once Jon comes on.
