Which network will have the best election coverage?
I don't have cable so I'm wondering if you could recommend the best network to watch the election coverage on. I used to always watch CBS because I loved Dan Rather's election coverage. He was simply the best and most entertaining. I'm leaning towards CBS still, but wonder if another network might have better coverage. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

1. I'll be surfing, but I'm kind of ADHD. If they are annoying me on one network,
I just switch. I usually end up on PBS. Then I'll go to the Daily Show special.

3. I'd go with the anchors you like the most -- they'll all have the same
news at the same time, so whoever you'd like to 'be' with during the election coverage!

I'm guessing cnn.com and/or mshbc.com will have streaming coverage, too.

6. Amen to MSNBC
I will watch MSNB for Keith and CNN to confirm results. And then I'll tune in to Fox just to see their smug little faces get sad as Obama is elected our next President.

12. Stick with CBS. Jeff Greenfield is good.
The also have some other good people and nobody is annoying, not even Katie these days. I do still miss Dan Rather though. Otherwise check out PBS who also have a no-nonsense approach.
