Can you give me tomorrow’s lottery numbers?
Sure I think its likely that Obama will come out looking better in the debate. But it seems like you shouldn’t even waste your time watching since you already know the outcome.
Did you see the word “hope”?
I took that to mean you hoped to talk to him not that you hoped he won. My mistake.
- Yes.
- TV and internet both. No idea on who with.
- On TV, I’ll probably switch between MSNBC and network NBC. Online, I’ve generally liked the New York Times’ results pages, so I’ll probably go there most.
- N/A
- 10
Yes, my wife and I will be watching. We don’t get Comedy, but we got Stewart and Colbert on another channel four years ago and I will try to find that. I have always been fascinated watching the numbers roll (obviously the math nerd in me) but you don’t see that much any more and I find the analyses boring. For similar reasons, I won’t be watching the debates. In any cases, I have already mailed in my ballot and my wife’s.
I have a long standing tradition, dating all the way back to the last election, of watching the results at a the house of a Canadian friend, with some Canadians. Note that I’m a US citizen, and there will be other US citizens there. It just seems fun to be hosted by Canadians for this.
Plus, they live on the water and have a pretty cool party house.

If obama looks like a winner, as I hope and expect, I might switch to Fox to see their reaction. Maybe 10 minutes of that.
Watching on TV.
MSNBC (Yes, I know they’re biased. It’s a guilty pleasure.)
I’ll give it a 10.
Beer and hot wings will be involved.
Same with the debates.
I’m a little nervous Mittens might hand Obama’s ass to him as he’s had so much prep time compared to Obama. (I hope I’m wrong.)
I watched Mittens vs Obama on 60 Minutes a couple of weeks ago. I have to say Mittens looked pretty strong in that interview. Obama did OK too, I’m just saying there was no clear “winner” in that piece.
If I feel very sure that Obama is going to win, I will watch Fox News. It will be like watching the win from RNC HQ.
I will be working as an election judge, so probably won’t be home until around 8:30 PM Central Time, by which time I suspect the results will be pretty much known. However, my wife will probably be watching The Comedy Channel, it’s more amusing coverage, and then flip to CNN during commercials.
I will be watching the Daily Show/Colbert Report coverage on election day.
anyone betting $10,000 on this?

Will you be watching the election results on TV?
Yes -
If yes, where or how will you be watching - on TV, the Internet, home alone or with family/friends?
*TV, either at home or in a hotel (depending on where I’m sent for campaigning), most likely with my wife and possibly co-workers.
-
Also, if yes, any preference to source of info? CNN, MSNBC, FOX, local stations?
NBC -
If no, what else do you plan on doing that night - watching a DVD, or searching channels for something else, or going out to a movie or go bowling, or what?
I said yes, but I’ll also be drinking -
On a scale of 1 - 10, how interested are you in watching election results that night (10 being very interested, 1 being not interested a single iota).
10. It’s like Super Bowl Sunday.
Bonus question: Will you watch any/all of the upcoming debates?
Yes, all
Too late to edit: On a scale of 1 to 10 I’m probably a 7. I’ll watch it at home, maybe with some family members. As to the debates, yes, I plan on watching them.
No TV at home so no watching.
I am maintaining my tradition of not being in the States for the election. It will be my fourth one in a row.
I’ll probably be online and will see results but there is no way streaming will work for me.
I’ll be home after working a 16 hour day at the polls, arriving between 4:30-5:00am, leaving the polling place around 7pm, and (hopefully) released from the courthouse by 8:00pm. It’s going to be one of the rougher elections. More voters, angrier voters, more confusion, more griping. I’ve got the Indiana voter ID laws to contend with, and if a voter is going to show their ass, it’s going to be in this election. People with no ID, people that don’t know where they live and insist they vote at my precinct, etc, parents bringing their young adult children in to vote and we have no record of them (kid probably lied and said they registered, just to shut Mom up, and never did). I was there for the presidential in 08, and it’s a headache compared to the midterms and local generals that fall in between. I’ll be too tired to do anything other than get in bed, have some scotch or brandy, and flip between netfilx and CNN for the election updates, finally falling asleep definitely before 11pm.
I’m an 8 for interest in watching the results, but not so interested that I’ll stay up to the very end, due to my exhaustion. I can wait to find out the next day.
Is that you, Dale Gribble?
1. Will you be watching the election results on TV?
Yes
2. If yes, where or how will you be watching - on TV, the Internet, home alone or with family/friends?
TV, at home with my wife. My brother and parents are also very interested (in a different state), so we’ll likely be checking in with each other on the phone periodically.
3. Also, if yes, any preference to source of info? CNN, MSNBC, FOX, local stations?
Probably Comedy Central and NBC/MSNBC, but I always flip around to see what the other networks are saying.
5. On a scale of 1 - 10, how interested are you in watching election results that night (10 being very interested, 1 being not interested a single iota).
10. It’s huge for me. I’m sure I won’t go to bed until we have a winner.
Bonus question: Will you watch any/all of the upcoming debates?
Possibly- depending on how I feel that evening (they’re normally at my bedtime!).
- Yes, I’ll watch.
- On TV but probably have websites open as well.
- I’ll probably watch NBC or if they annoy me CBS or ABC.
- It would rate a 9 for me on the interest scale.
Bonus: Yes I will watch the debates, time-shifted 30 minutes or so probably, and will skip long-winded speech answers
I hope you aren’t running for office…
