CNN's coverage was so much sleeker and nicer than Fox News. Every time I clicked over to Fox News it was just a jumble of information, all percentages and no actual numbers.

Nothing was as good as the NYT tracker online.

I agree it was impressive. But damn I couldn't watch it more than in spurts. Started making me dizzy jumping all over the damn place at every Wolf whim.

Wolf wanted to add NC to Hillary's count after it was already called for Trump

John King - by far - was the best thing about the CNN coverage (except for the melt).

I was clicking around for the schadenfreude (mainly kept going back to FNC out of habit) - and I did catch Carville (I think on CNN) - he said - contrasting Hillary's not going with an economic message, but rather focused on temperment, "Trump's message was simple and on point." Quote of the night from a guy who knows politics about as well as anyone.

ETA: My favorite part was when King would be in the background on a Tapper/Blitzer exchange and that motherfricker was still playing with the map

Bump.

All my co-workers are in agreement that John King is the real election MVP

What a boss
