Results are impending and I need to get out of work so I can get home in time to hear sweet nothings from Chris Matthews (and hopefully squeeze in some phone banking). However, let’s take a quick look back over the past year to highlight some of our coverage of this historic election.
The Beginning
Our first morning news ever, on December 13, 2007, mentioned Barack Obama. Also hilarious photos of MLB stars looking worried. I like to imagine them saying it in a Scooby Doo voice. (For those who are curious, our first post ever was about Speed Racer! What’s up with that?) January 14, 2007 was the first time we every consolidated into an “Election 2008″ tag. That post kinda sucked though. Surprise surprise.
Wednesday is a pretty weak night – there is not much out there for those of us without Tivo from the glut that is Monday and Tuesday.
10:00 pm EST – Boston Legal (ABC)
After seeing William Shatner speak Monday about his new autobiography, I find myself very much excited to get back into Boston Legal. Tonight’s episode, where politicians try to convince Denny to run for President, promises lots of Shatnery goodness.
10:00 pm EST – Top Chef (Bravo)
Tonight’s episode features the contestants in a challenge to make salads cool and to make an unhealthy dish healthier. The producers of this show have finally found a way to keep me from getting hungry while watching.
??? – John Edwards Endorsing Barack Obama (CNN/MSNBC/Fox News)
Even when we trade off, I still manage to squeeze in some current events. That’s right, dreamboat and former Presidential candidate John Edwards will be endorsing Senator Barack Obama at a rally in Michigan tonight. I don’t know when the big show will be (probably around 9 pm EST so that it can hit prime time in most of the country), but there will be a lot of chattering all night for those who like that sort of thing.
Late Night
Leno is hosting a debate between Howard Dean and newly announced Republican Vice Presidential candidate Rainn Wilson. Letterman has Jack Hanna. Conan has Leighton Meester. Stewart has John Harwood and Colbert has Laura Dern.
