Chaos = ratings

I can't say I've been closely following any of the coverage, but I was expecting at least 10,000 people minimum to hear all the headlines and reporting on it.

Shame. I hope cable news has some alternative programming in place. How many channels do you reckon expected to spend all day on this? Also, how many do you figure will spend all day on it anyway?
