Well I am not sure I will watch much election coverage tomorrow
I am more confused on the outcome than any election I have ever seen. I have no real idea how things will settle but one thing I am sure of is that some of these real scarey people are going to get elected. That we have an even tougher time getting things done if enough get in, that the strategy will be to do even more of this teabagging stuff for the next 2 years and at a higher level. I am wondering tonight if we are seeing the end of our Democracy where corporations will be able to spend goobs of money to elect their kind, where the media will mostly consist of one kind with even fewer of the other side in it than we now have. I hope things go good for the Democrats but I have to confess, other than a gut feeling, I really don't know. I have already voted so I just hope more people will vote for sane candidates (or at least the closer to sane candidates) and we will still have a congress that won't be impossible to work with. How is that for restoring sanity?

2. You know I might do the same thing. I have NCIS on right now as
background, no yelling, chattering, etc. Good idea.

5. I'll watch the coverage on Comedy Central. That's actually what I was watching
when Obama went over 270 back in 2008. I might pop over to MSNBC for a few seconds now and then, but since I can't stand Tweety or Chuck Todd, I won't be there for long.

6. Won't be watching a single moment of the incessant talking heads and their meaningless drivel.
As far as I'm concerned, there could be a complete and total news blackout of the election until each and every vote is counted.

I'd be fine with that.

8. I'm not watching any of it as I'm in Hawaii and thankfully it'll be over by
the time I get home. The worst part of tomorrow night would/will be the crowing of the right those insufferable asshole right wing pundits and a many so-called "serious independent" pundits.

I'm afraid 2010 will be the exact opposite of 2008. Complete depression versus euphoria in 2008. OR even 2006 for that matter.
