Hey everyone,

As some of you know, I don't own nor watch TV.  I get all my news from the web.
Some of you might do the same. 

So in the interest of helping out those of us not addicted to "idiot boxes", post us some links where we all can get some LIVE election coverage.  News reports are obvious ones...  we can get them from Mixx, CNN, Yahoo etc

I'm talking live video, and other oddities like http://election.twitter.com/

Post me some links, MB!

I saw this in my email and thought, for a second, that I wrote this post in my sleep.  I haven't turned on my TV in over a year now.  And, for the several months before I stopped altogether, I was only watching NY1 (local news).

I "watch" twitter as well.  Also, try the search with a few hashtags like #votereport, #current, #vote08, etc.  I just wish the search moved like the Election page (no need to refresh).

Make sure to follow the right people, too.  Like http://twitter.com/jayrosen_nyu and other Journos on Twitter.  They tweet constantly.

Coincidence...

Ironically, I got that link off Twitter.

Yes, it is Digidave.  That's who I got the link from.

If I was an admin, I'd just edit the post and replace the link.  But, you can.
