I will watch the election night coverage. Been watching it for many years. It's pretty cool how they use the exit poll data to make predictions. But the close races are the most fun because they cannot predict the winner just after the polls close.
This year should be fun because there are some very close races.
They won't announce anything here until after the polls close at 8pm so I'll be switching between the local news that will cover all the local and California races and Fox News that does a good job with the continuous ticker-tape across the bottom of the screen showing all the state races.
He would still be the Minority Leader, so he would have as much of a backseat that McConnell currently has.
Maybe.
"It’s hard to imagine things getting much uglier between Harry Reid and South Dakota Democratic Senate nominee Rick Weiland. Weiland escalated his feud with national Democrats on Friday by starting a national petition drive to replace Reid (D-Nev.) as majority leader with progressive Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren."
Yes. At that point it then becomes a test of will power from the Democratic Party. Will they cave in or sit on the bill until the tea baggery inside it gets watered down? Plus, there's still the question that Obama can veto it, and then it doesn't matter that the GOP controls the House and Senate, it'll be like the Democrats controlling Congress again. I think the GOP will win control of Congress, but they will not have a filibuster-proof majority nor will they have the numbers to overturn a presidential veto. This isn't the 1990s anymore.
Let the President veto bills the GOP send him. Then it's up to the GOP to let the people know constantly and loudly about it. They need a really good spokesperson and they need to start with Keystone legislation and other energy legislation because in all polls since 2008, people have said "jobs" is the Number 1 priority. If I were them I'd ask regular people from North Dakota to tell people all over the country in ads how much drilling has paid off for them personally not just in the energy industry jobs but jobs in restaurants, construction, real estate, hotels, etc., that have sprung up behind the numbers of people moving there for work and the lowest unemployment rate since Obama was president. They can even tie in Middle East troubles and the GOPs goal for energy independence.

They do but I can't read it. I bet they only tested it out on flat screens. Some people, like me, still have old TVs and it's very hard to read Fox News election results. CNN's is much easier to read.
Definitely. It's bigger than the Super Bowl at my house. DH has three TV's in his attic "man cave" so he can watch the returns on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News at the same time.

I have Dish Network and they're still in their fight with Turner. So CNN, TCM and all the cartoon channels have been cut off.
I generally do prefer CNN on election night--more graphics, less interviews, but Fox will work. Every time they cut to an interview, I'll switch back to my local channel, that mostly just does California election results.
