Anyone else not turning on their TV tomorrow night? |
|
I realize that some of us have to. But I plan on simply sitting at my computer and getting updates that way. I just won't be able to bear all the constant spinning and back and forth, and hackery. I'm tense enough as it is.
Don't get me wrong, if Kerry pulls it out to a degree that defies contesting and legal battles I will turn on the cable news hacks ASAP to watch them choke on crow.
But until that time it is nothing but the internet for me.

The Daily Show is on LIVE at 10:00 pm EST. Should be a hoot. I'll probably be listening to AAR until then.

6. I'll be watch CNN-whores because at least numbers don't lie |
|
they will have a state-of-the-art election night multi-media studio that will tell you if an undecided voter in Wyoming has a booger in his right nostril.
And, it'll be fun watching the whores scrape egg off their faces.

7. not going to be watching tv |
|
i am so surprised by me. turned off news before the debates, and cant go back to them. judt finished with them. which could be so easy stopping smoking as stopping news. i am disgusted with cigs, but havent been able to put them away the same.
anyway, no news create the stories media for me. others can watch and will read what they say on board

8. Depends on what the rest of the GOTVers are doing |
|
I plan on staying up all night if necessary with whoever will let me hang around until I know what happened.
I hope people remember last time, and vote regardless of what the predictions are. I would hope the networks won't do it again, but I have no faith.

12. I am turning my TV to ABC |
|
Well, I'm using my Tivo to record the ABC coverage since I recorded all the debates on ABC and Kerry won all of them.
So using my Tivo to record ABC is hopefully combine with the superstition of other democrats out there to give victory to Kerry!
I will be watching it! I can't wait until tomorrow night!

23. My good luck charm for the debates was white zifandel wine |
|
But when I went to the liquor store to buy some before the second presidential debate, they were all out. I considered getting champagne or beer instead, but instead I went to another liquor store rather than break the pattern!

13. I'm a very visual person, so CBS, PBS, CSPAN with volume off |
|
and will listen to AAR and/or NPR and stay online with DU. The big question is what can I drink without getting bombed early on?!

16. Don't have internet or cable at home... |
|
But plan to be at a victory party for Dennis Moore (D-3rd district, Kansas), so I'll see a little of the returns then.
When I get home, if it's still undecided, then I might turn on CBS with the sound off...

I am already nauseous with anxiety. Watching the talking heads will probably push me 'round the bend.
Speaking of the media - who ever told Katie Couric that tilting her head all the time was cute ? It drives me NUTS !!! Grrr.

20. TV off today and tomorrow. Can't take the media but |
|
I'll be checking in to DU. I'm volunteering all day until 6 p.m. tomorrow. Then I have yoga from 7-8 just to keep myself from going insane. After that, I'll check in .. I just hate the spin and stupid comments from the media.
I'll turn on the Daily Show....

21. I too, will watch only to gloat |
|
I'm spending tomorrow night with AirAmerica radio, a bottle of bubbly, and you guys! But it's not because I'm worried about the hacks making me tense--I'm worried about the hacks making me homicidal!
