Midterms: Matthews & Olbermann Anchoring For 12 Hours On MSNBC

MSNBC is already running nonstop political coverage from 9am to 10pm through Election Day. Special programming:

On Sunday, Hardball will be live at 7pm. On Monday, Hardball will be live at 10pm, followed by "Decision 2006" with Joe Scarborough at 11pm.

On Tuesday, marathon coverage begins at 6pm. Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann will anchor from MSNBC HQ. Coverage will run all night, straight through 6am.

Scarborough and Tucker Carlson "will analyze the results with a panel of political reporters and experts" including Andrea Mitchell, Howard Fineman, Bob Shrum, Pat Buchanan, Eugene Robinson, and Carl Quintanilla.

MSNBC.com will have a "Democracy Dashboard" on the home page with "a full spectrum of self-refreshing results, including a map with state-by-state rollover results, and returns on Senate, House and gubernatorial races, organized down to the county level. In addition, users can find balance-of-power graphics for the House and Senate and instant-message style tips to alert them to developing stories."

2. Yippee! That will be good to see.

I am going to be recording as much as possible. I wish I had in 2004 when the "glitch" kicked in.

It should be interesting.

8. Will Keith's Head Explode If A Theft Occurs?

If the #'s suddenly switch late Tuesday night, will they let Keith go on the air and give his suspicions, or will they let Tweety say how it just shows that people respect the repubs, or some other such BS?

9. I know what network I'll be tuned to!

:woohoo:

The analysis group SUCKS though. Buchanan, Tucker, and Mitchell?:puke:

Tweety.

11. just make sure we get the vote out before watching

12. will do.

:patriot:

[LynneSin]

13. God, when I'm at the campaign party - I'm making sure the TV is on MSNBC

In 2004 we could only do the cable news channels because all the local news was at the party and we don't want to offend anyone by showing one local news channel over another. So we had Fox & MSNBC on the TVs.

This year I'll make sure that it's MSNBC across the board; although, I prefer CSPAN or PBS

[gully]

14. Could be a great night!

YEAH!

21. That's one less 2000 trick to pull !!!

Somehow, I don't think KO would be calling it for Bush*co before the votes are counted.

Great news. Someone must have been watchin his ratings.

This is a statement in and of itself, putting KO in the driving seat.
