What network will everyone be watching Tuesday night? After the 2000 debacle, I'm not sure which to tune into.

I'm going to vote after work, pick up a pizza, go home and relax and then CELEBRATE!!

In honor of Kerry's defeat I'll be flip-flopping channels.
I'll probably start with FOX & C-SPAN, since I consider them more trustworthy.
I always channel surf, though, and look for commentators that I like (or at least ones I can handle).

Brit Hume will be hosting on FOX News, Shep will be hosting the local Fox Affiliates coverage. So there are two different Foxes you can watch.

I'll admit that FOX is more trustworthy than the alphabets, but this election has seen them inch toward the dark side. O'Reilly has sold out altogether.
C-Span is trustworthy. The just show a feed. Virtually no editorial content.

Possibly the Cartoon Network..or perhaps I'll just put in a good movie. I don't know if I can take the election night coverage..being in NY it will be a long night before we know what the outcome is. It might be enough to drive one mad... I like my tv too..so I wouldn't want to throw anything at it Very Happy


I'll definatley be here though..hitting the refresh button. I know some brave souls here will be watching tv and keeping us up updated.

I'll mostly watch FOX, but I'll check in on the other networks, too. I wanna see the sad looks on all the depressed anchors' faces. Razz

Channel surf until around 265 - 269 EV and then watch Dan Rather on seeBS.

I want to see that smug look wiped off of Alan Colmes' face!!! I want to see him try to spin DEFEAT!!!! (Do I sound a little vindictive? Sorry, it's been a long campaign, and that man has sorely tried my patience!).

And, if the miracle happens and Bush takes New York - hey, it CAN happen - you will probably all here me screaming like an idiot all the way to sunny California (okay, at least my neighbors will hear me!).

Someone's got to tape CNN; last election Carville put a trashcan over
his ugly head! Hope he repeats the performance!
