I'll be jumping back and forth between CNN for my sober intellectual benefit and Fox for my need to have a good long laugh at least once a day. Actually I found CBS's coverage of the last election pretty agreeable, so I'll be watching mostly CNN with some CBS. I'll be taping Jon Stewart's coverage. Don't want to miss a minute of it!
However, the Canadian networks are also doing their bit...CBC and CTV will be covering it. But I find them far too dry and light on the numbers when it comes to elections, so they won't get my viewership. When it comes to elections, I am a numbers junkie. I want CNN's four-hundred-stats-a-minute displayed on two tickers, a sidebar and being talked about.
By the way...if it's any indication of the close vote to come...traditional midnight voters in tiny Hart's Location, New Hampshire split 15-15 between Kerry and Bush. I wouldn't want to be holding their next town hall meeting!
Probably CNN, they are the best..
I'll be watching Jon Stewart and flipping to CBC during commercials. All those statistics on CNN and the like are definitely entertaining, but they really piss me off. Its been proven that voters are swayed by early results. For example, if by 7:00 p.m. Mountain Time it appears as though one candidate is pulling away some may not bother voting. Besides, CBC presents by far the most "fair and balanced" look at U.S politics. It's sort of pathetic but thats the problem with capitalist media.
Gilmore Girls is still on tonight...even with all this election crap...THANK GOD! I will be so relieved when all this election BS is over!!

Another indication of the mess to come is that those figures above are wrong. Reports I've seen have results for voting at Hart's Location at 16 for Bush, 14 for Kerry, and 1 for Nader.
I heard on news radio station it was something different than BOTH of your numbers!

Gilmore Girls is on here tonight too! At least something to keep my mind off things. With the US elections on one side of the ocean and a Dutch political assassination on this side - Nov 2nd 2004 won't be forgotten easily :?

The numbers I just read off cbc.com said it was 19 for Bush, 7 For Kerry. This is nuts. It's 2000 all over again.

You gotta be kidding. CBC is so anti-bush it is not funny. Not that I disagree with their opinion, but they are definatley biased. IMHO, BBC offers the most unbiased view available.

For US viewers, the most neutral source would be your local PBS affiliate.
CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS are all unabashedly leftist; FOX is unapologetically right-wing biased.
