Default Election Results - Which Media Outlet?

So which network/channel will you be getting your results from tonight (if at all)?
Dry erase boards or high tech interactive National map doohickeys?
Drinking games with "too close to call" or "toss up" as key phrases?

For me, it will probably be MSNBC in the living room until the wee ones toddle off to bed, then either PBS or NBC in the boudoir until I fall asleep.

I always flip between the 3 major cable channels...to try to get a more balanced view.

I'm watching CNN tonight. MSNBC is too liberal. Fox is too conservative. CNN is right in the middle. However I will be flipping between NBC and CNN since I also like Tom Brokaw and Brian Williams. I might even check BBC America's coverage. That along with surfing the intertubes.

Well, seeing as how we just cancelled our cable (effective tonight), we will most likely be watching NBC or possibly PBS. I've never watched news on PBS, so we'll see how left or right leaning they are.

To be perfectly honest, I can wait til the morning to find out (if indeed we'll know by the morning).
