Which network are you following tonight for election coverage? Just curious. I'm watching Fox on TV, but checking out ABCs website.

I'm watching fox news.  They're being cautious just like alot of other news agencys.  They brought up a good point how the exit polling is not matching the returns....it was off by as much as 7% in virginia.

I'm watching CBS but fixing to change. They're removing the veils much too quickly - they're such a slut :D

I'm using Dish Networks election coverage. They have CNN, FOX, CSPAN, MSNBC, MTV (can't figure that one out), and Comedy Central(Daily Show will be live in an hour) all on one screen. Just hop from one to the other. Mainly staying with MSNBC.

Where are you getting this from? So far the networks are witholding information on the key states that were exit polled. Almost like they are intentionally dragging it out till 11pm.

Fox reported that in VA 54% of those polled during the exit polls were women....that's hardly representative.

Watching CNN but switching to Comedy Central at 7 PST.

What the hell is Larry King even doing in the studio - I think he forgot to take his meds? Wolf Blitzer is so dull it's like watching a physics professor call the Superbowl.

How do you know that? What's was the percentage of population? What's the percentage of registered voters? What the percentage of people that actually voted?
I guarentee that it's not 50 / 50 across the board.

Friggin maggots.

Edit - switched to NBC because if I saw the friggin stupid computer eyecandy on CBS anymore I would puke.
