Fox 75%, NBC 25%. I caught both Bush calls for Florida. I also spent the evening with my laptop cooking my legs while I followed the Live election thread.
FoxNews. It's coverage was exceptional. Just reported on the election. No political BS. Everything was about the election.
I put on ABC and NBC for just a bit - minutes only. They were trying to tell me why people voted this way and that. I nearly puked and went back to real reporting on FoxNews.
Fox news until it was obvious Bush was going to win and then I had to watch the disappointment creep in to the face of the others
I did not watch TV at all, just surfed at FR and the board of elections website for my county. I could get up to the minute results much faster on-line than by watching TV.
Me, too.
None. I listened to Hugh Hewitt and watched the results on the internet.
No cable: Mostly watched the local Fox affiliate with Shepard Smith. I think Fox had him for the feed to local affiliates.
I put a movie in the DVD until midnight. Then after checking in with FR, I watched the Banny Dather CBS meltdown for 3 1/2 hours.
Rather was grasping for straws all night and looked like someone shot his dog! :-)
It was Great!!!!
Watched FOX mostly, listened to Hugh Hewitt on the radio.

I flipped channels all night. Some thoughts:
Fox News Channel's coverage was awful. They constantly showed state graphics with no data. Thanks a lot. The female democrat talking head that over-enunciates every word was very grating.
Dan Rather (biased as he is) used about a million catch phrases ("the margin is about as thin as turnip soup") as was kinda entertaining.
I thought the best coverage was a combination of MSNBC and NBC. Chris Matthews is biased, but did a pretty fair job last night. Anytime he and Joe Scarborough have a discussion it is entertaining.
Although, I could be completely wrong...
Fox News & Internet--FR 85% of internet time. Otherwise, sifted thru 2000 county returns in FL vs the incoming 2004 county results then shifted to do the same w/ OH.
Free Republic for 8 hours then 2 hours sleep and now back again.
Listened to Mark Levin on WABC until 8:00 Pm EST, then a little bit of MSNBC, then switched to Fox for good...
I watched HGTV until 11:30 and then turned on Fox until 3:00. By prearrangement with my husband, who was very anxious about this election, I did not check Free Republic until 10:30. By then things were looking hopeful. I had to keep the afternoon scare from him. Fortunately, we had other things keeping us away from the "bad" news during the afternoon.
I stayed on Free Republic only (no TV) until 1:30am when I finally turned on FNC (very reluctantly)
Fox on TV
Drudge on the internet
None. I slept.
ditto... MSNBC during the commercials on FOX. I liked the Fox panel, I thought Fred Barnes and Mort had good insight and were more knowledgable to make commentary then the other alphabet channels.
sssshhheeshh a station of has-beens.
