On which network will you watch the election results?

So, when you're drinking your beer and eating fingerfoods as you watch the election results come in, which network will be on in your house?

I'll be flying cross country with two little ones so I won't be watching the election. I'm not sure which is more trying though.

My wife wants to go to a party hosted by like minded voters. I'm really not interested, but I'll probably do it anyway. They are nice people. At least with kids, we have an excuse to not stay late.

I like Katie Couric, and Bob Schieffer...so CBS for me (also attributed to lack of cable.)

Uh, thanks Pie. I hadn't even thought about having a beer and fingerfood party but I am now!

CNN and John King's giant touch screen.

I will surf but tend to watch PBS most of the time.

Well hey at least they eventually calm down. You can't give TV pundits NyQuil no matter how much you want to. Whoever wins there will probably be post-election squabbling over polling issues, etc.

Comedy Central. Their coverage doesn't start until 9:00 Central, but I'll be busy putting the kids to bed before then anyway.

Sundae · 11-04-2008, 11:45 AM

None!
Tomorrow will be soon enough for me.

For election results in the UK or London I always watch the BBC though.

At work, we only have broadcast television, so I'll watch whatever channel comes in clearest, and obsessively refresh foxnews.com

Once I'm home I'll watch Fox News.

Okay, I'll probably give up and either watch a movie or QVC.

I want to spend those dollars before they get forcibly converted to Ameros.

Cicero · 11-04-2008, 12:43 PM

Good question. I don't know. Hmmm. I think I'll surf until I think someone has the best coverage going.

Completely forgot about them! I'll definitely be tuning in as soon as they're on!

SamIam · 11-04-2008, 02:07 PM

PBS, CBS, and CNN in that order. I may add Comedy Central now that I know they're covering it.

bartman · 11-04-2008, 02:17 PM

I'm gonna flip between CNN, FauxNews (just to see how far out of whack either side is) and MSNBC. We also have a local channel that will have local(!) coverage.

Sundae · 11-04-2008, 05:11 PM

Actually I'm browsing YouTube while waiting for the first results to come in on the BBC website.

For some reason, the saturation coverage here has made me a little bit interested after all.

Meanwhile, there are some David Tennant clips that need my attention...
