Open Thread: Media & How They're Doing

I'm getting a little tired of all the hopeful predictions from media that this one is going to be just like Florida. They seem to be relishing the idea, because it's good for their bottom line. What are your thoughts about media coverage of the election today and tonight?

I got a call that MTV was at Jackson State taping David Banner. Word is, turn out is incredible among our JSU students. I tell you: they're going to listen to us, yet. There's time to get people to the polls; what else can you do? Do it? Make sure you've urged at least 10 people to go to the polls.

I'm watching ABC News, and they're being very careful with their report. I'm sensing, though, that they know something is going on -- maybe even a revolution, of sorts.

Did you say revolution??? That was my 5:57 catharsis on the other blog. I couldn't agree more! I think the media will play very safe with this election. It'll be interesting to watch unfold this evening... Will we have multiple coverages going at once???
