I mean, I doubt anyone would post in this thread but you never know! I'm just looking for articles about the election from both sides. And segments from 24hr news networks. CNN still has their election site up but Fox News...they don't remember it. If you have any stories or things you'd like to share about the election--you can! So yeah, feel free to help me make some research. Or not.

Maybe this is a little obvious, but wikipedia has massive articles on the overall election and the primaries, with tons of links to various news reports.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Presidential_Election#cite_note-0

Despite being British I followed the election through various news sites and The Daily Show, then stayed up to watch the election results as they came in.

The funniest thing was the outright contempt that the BBC had towards Fox, they wouldn't take their word for anything, and kept saying so. Any piece of news that they got they waited for CNN or ABC to confirm, even things that you'd trust Fox on, like when they called Alabama for the Republicans or Florida for the democrats.

Okay, now I know you or someone else posted this exact same paragraph the other day. If not then I have slipped into a pocket universe were things are repeating and I am just going to go take a nap until things are back to normal.

Yes I did, I can't remember what thread it was in. It seemed relevant to this thread too.

I was being serious about the moon thing though, that wasn't me.
