Big Kudos to Chris Matthews who must have been on the air pretty much all day and all night. Up until the end I would have given the definite edge in comprehensive coverage to CNN, they were really pretty much on top of everything . . . while MSNBC seemed like they were only really able to focus on what was happening in the Senate races. However, it is really David vs. Goliath in this case, since CNN obviously had a much larger political unit and alot more money to spend on new technoligies, statistics software, etc. (vs the currently downsizing MSNBC). I can't comment on FOX New's coverage . . . because well I don't watch Fox News.

If the former, then yes. I guess my point was that no other network had ANY recognizable faces on the air at 3:30 in the morning. On MSNBC, or on NBC? If the former, then yes.

And wasn't Williams-Brokaw-Russert-Brown the A-team? Or were they like the super-A-team? I spontaneously cheered when Tim Russert broke out his dry-erase board last night.
