My question is what will Fox New and MSNBC do for the next 4 years now :D What will they have to fight about so that they can generate viewership so they can sell ad time and make a fistfull of money. I guess they can start the spin machine for the next election cycle. I can't wait :( :p

Well I'm hoping that Fox will be gloating and MSNBC will be whining as they do so well when it comes to objectivity. Moreover, it's too bad that ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN can't be objective. If they were, there wouldn't be a need for Fox News.

One only has to look at the coverage of the terrorist attack in Benghazi by these four networks to recognize how flawed their coverage of the news really is. How does a journalist not grill a Secretary of Defense after he says that there wasn't adequate information to send a rescue team to Benghazi during the 7-8 hour attack. Journalistic malfeasance is all too common among these four networks.

I agree and if you can they me their party affiliation I think you will know why they are as they are.

Fox news, while I don't agree with they way they operate some of their programs, they at least air both sides of most affairs.

Why do I have a feeling that the results of this election won't be known for weeks. If there is a way to protest the results and get the courts involved I'm sure the loser will do it. I just hope the results aren't close or we may very well see a delay in the outcome.

Regardless of the outcome, there will be whining, whinging and gnashing of teeth. I'm sure both sides have teams of lawyers standing by to drop lawsuits if the outcome is even close.

Even if it's a landslide, the congress will still be divided and we'll have to hear how everything is the other party's fault. Like we have been for the last decade. The reality IMHO is that it is both party's/politicians fault for serving personal, party and special interest needs rather than serving the country's needs.

I plan on voting to fire all incumbents (regardless of party) on my ballot and will continue to do so until things get better and leadership prevails.

I have stated earlier in this thread (I believe) that limits would be good. At least the bad guys don't hang around for decades.

Lots of opinions here...politics are draining, so much grey area in the issues and politicians themselves.
To me it's just black and white. :D :D That's extra funny today.

I see it was just called for Obama. It isn't even 9pm yet on election night where I am.
