Poll question: Where will you get your election night results?
First, let me say that I deliberately left DU off my choice list because I'm sure that it'll be buzzing crazily here and I know that DU is a top choice for most of us. So I wanted to see where else, I guess you could say, you plan to get your results.

I'm actually not even sure what Choice #3 will do or what Choice #6 will have.

Personally, I think I'll probably scout around online every once in a while but generally have my TV turned to CNN if CSPAN is no good. My reasoning is that there is only one host who annoys me listed for the CNN coverage and many, many more on MSNBC.

11. KO is good, but won't Tweety, Tucker, & Scarborough...
not to mention Rita Cosby, all be on during those twelve hours...and Tim Russert.

I don't think I could take it.

17. I don't think so. Yweety and KO are starting at 7:00 PM and going until the end
on Wed. morning. There will be a analysis group....Tucker, Andrea Mitchell, Pat Buchanan and some others I can't remember. Scarborough and Cosby may be on during the day? I don't know. IF KO isn't a MAJOR player Tuesday night...I'll be switching the channel too.

4. I don't know if we'll be able to stand it!
If we CAN stand it :shrug: it'll be DU and CSPAN (if possible) or CNN.

Mostly I just want to wake up Wednesday morning to sunshine and happiness... We'll see...

GOTV!

16. MSNBC and AAR
I'll probably keep the stream of AAR up on my PC and logged into DU. In the living room we'll have MSNBC on.

18. I'll be working the polls that day, 6 am to 10 pm.
When I get home I'll pour myself a large glass of something red and turn on the radio.

My husband will probably be on the net all evening...

19. Other.
I will turn off the tv, radio, and 'puter, curl up with a good book, and get a good night's sleep. When my alarm goes up in the morning, I'll shower, get a cup of coffee, and start browsing the internet for local results. Whichever site I can find them on. Then I'll check out the national scene; again, whatever site I find it on.

I will show up at work smiling if my state evicts Greg Walden, but I'm not holding my breath. He's considered "safe." One can only hope that the general anger and disappointment with the Bush admin has coat tails in my district.

24. Start the coverage with Mike Malloy on Nova M radio
He said he would be on an extra hour Tuesday night, so that's 9:00 PM - 1:00 AM Eastern (or 6 - 10 on the west coast)

After that, it will probably be MSNBC, since Keith is anchoring the coverage. And if things turn out really good, I might switch channels to FAUX for a few minutes to watch them cry.
