Election on Ice

[russian33]

The Rockefeller Center ice rink will be covered by a jigsaw puzzle map of the U.S. on election night as part of NBC's news coverage of the voting. When a state is carried by Bush or Kerry, a map of the state, colored red or blue, will be carried onto the ice and positioned on the map. At the same time the General Electric building (the onetime RCA building) which houses NBC's headquarters at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, will be lit with red and blue lights forming a graph of the number of electoral votes each candidate has captured. Reporting on the network's plans, the Associated Press commented on Wednesday that they were "the most elaborate" for any network and predicted that NBC will attract the biggest election night audience. It pointed out that the network will also benefit from "the emotional edge of a last hurrah" for Tom Brokaw, who is stepping down as NBC Nightly News anchor in December.

Weird! I wonder if Brokaw or Russert will put some skates on, and skate around the ring calling states...hehe
