Poll question: What network will you watch the most on Tuesday?
What network will you watch the most on Tuesday?

I'll probably go with NBC (or ABC). I don't get cable so MSNBC and Fox Noise is off the table. But in time for Tuesday...


Darker the sate, later the last polls close.



and...


Both lines are 540 pixels in width. For every EV earned, the character moves two pixels right. Obama is represented by the character on the top, McCain by the character on the bottom.

1. PBS - the best analysts on TV and commercial free!
They will probably have parts with Bill Moyers, Tavis Smiley, Gwen Iffel, Brooks & Shields and all their other great commentators.

You could not pay me to watch a commercial station.

8. There is a rather significant group of individuals on DU who feel that PBS has been taken over
by Republicans. I just don't see it at all. They often present both sides of an issue, but their leanings are quite clear to me. Bill Moyers is one of the best, if not the best, person doing political shows today.

Anyhoo, PBS is often not listed in these polls, so I try to push for it when I can.

10. They have more repukes than dems, but the ratio is not
as lopsided as the other channels

26. "a significant group of individuals"? Sounds like a fox report
Calling PBS "republican" is kinda... silly to me.

The News Hour remains quite fantastic as it has been for long, long time.

2. Man, Tweety will be pissing himself.. Keith will be his snarky self.
Rachel's going to cry realizing democracy worked.. Yeah.. and she can find another worry. AND in all in all, I can't think of a better family to have with me... Oh, I'll have to flip to local to find out about local races.. but mainly MSNBC.

You know.. as soon as he's elected, we'll be sitting here trying to pick his administration for him.

3. I'll probably do some channel surfing
I really want to see that sad faces on FOX and then watch them start with the blame game. Who will get the most blame? Palin? McNuts? Davis? That shrew Nancy Puffinutter? It could be entertaining.

I am hoping for an early call so I can pop the bubbly. I really want this over.

11. Wonder if Comedy Central will have Jon Stewart do any live feeds.
Or Colbert.

I'll watch MSNBC if Keith, Rachel, and Tweety are on, but not if it's Gregory. I can't remember where Jeff Greenfield went when he left CNN. I think he's on CBS. I like him -- he's smart and seems pretty down the middle opinion wise.

28. I want to sleep in late on Wednesday too....
because we've partied hard while celebrating.
If McCain gets in, I'll have to take the whole week off literally sick (and I'm a stay-at-home mom)!

12. Fox. It's the sadist in me. I don't know how long I can take it, but I expect to get some laughs in
Plus I've always had a soft spot for Shepard Smith. He's that rare breed of "occasionally honest conservative".

When they admit Obama has won, all the fat ladies have sung.

CNN has those awesome interactive maps. And then I'll check in on Faux News for the exploding heads. So basically everybody.

23. Map Question
Sometimes I can't understand those maps to save my life. BUT, does the red/blue one show 1/2 of TN undecided? 1/2 of TN is white - I can't believe it! My county is one of the few Democratic counties in TN and I would love to see it turning statewide! Or, am I just -again- not understanding the map?
Thanks!

35. MSNBC. But I will probably flip among MSNBC, CNN. and yes, even Faux (I love to see...
their reactions to loss of their campaign). It was very enlightening (and funny) when I turned to Fox late in the evening in 2006, after a big Republican loss. CNN & MSNBC and network news stations were hummin' and buzzin' and analyzin'. They had no dog in the race, and the upsets were exciting. I flipped to FAUX...there was Brit Hume looking down at his papers in a darkly sit studio, speaking slowly to the two other guys, who also had hound dog sad faces. What a difference! Their expressions said it all. They were not dispassionate, observors, reporters of the election. They had indeed had a dog (a whole pack o'dogs) in the race.

I may even watch PBS for awhile. That's about as objective as you can get. Then back to MSNBC and CNN, hopping with the best pundits on the tube.
