How To Supplement Election Coverage?
An anonymous reader asks "What information sources and social networking sites will you be using to supplement the election coverage on TV next Tuesday? I am ready with a big HDTV with Comcast, a Mac mini, and and an Xbox 360. I also have two laptops (one good for websites and one for streaming video), an old-school Blackberry, a 'regular' cell phone, a Nokia N810, a Squeezebox, and finally Sirius Satellite Radio. Which websites should I watch for live county results? I already know about the Twitter Vote Report for tracking and reporting voting issues and I already watch 'CNN Reporters' on Friendfeed for the national flair. What other Twitter accounts should I follow? Which urgent ones should I send to my phones? Which YouTube accounts or keywords I should subscribe to in Miro? What are the most popular sites for posting 'on-scene' videos — iReport, Flickr, something else? I know most local Fox affiliates are great about streaming, but is there a page that lists all of the streams, in case I need to quickly focus on one city or area? Basically, how would you configure all those gadgets?" This reader might find some guidance in what to focus on from a video produced by reader (and data modeler) Bruce Nash that lays out a predicted timeline for when the media will call each state, depending on when the polls close and how tight each race is expected to be.
Real-time coverage is important. I just want to be able to jot down the time when the Civilian Security Force gets its charter. Between them, and the "fairness doctrine" which will shut down any media opposing them... gosh, we should be having a great time. Go, Civilian Security Force, go!
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
Look you stupid Nazi fuck
There! There's that high-brow, thoughtful political discourse that the intellects from the left are so famous for. No wonder Obama is attracting such bright, innovative people. Yes, it's Hope and Change We Can Believe In, sure enough.
we're well into the fascist revolution you've been agitating for
What's it like there, inside your special world?
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
Unless one of said loony morons is a Vice Presidential candidate
Come on, Joe Biden can't help the fact that he's a blowhard. It's genetic, and people keep mistaking it for "statesmanship," which he mistakes as encouragement. So, leave the guy alone.

Well, reality does have a liberal bias...
