How many of you are going to watch this as it happens on
Tuesday? I've never watched a US election before, how long
would it go on for? Its on from midnight here, luckily i'm
not at work the next day so i'll probably stay up and watch
it.

you're right, it's a little more important than a football
game. but sometimes you wouldn't know it.

most likely, there will be coverage all night and into the
next day. "coverage" meaning varying predictions and
subjective speculation.

I don't get that nacmat... you mean you'd watch the
superbowl but not the world (sorry, US) election?

I'm going to stay up for this, sort of. I'll watch The
Sopranos then fall asleep in the chair and wake up at about
2am and carry on from there, slightly more refreshed than if
I had tried to stay awake the whole night.

There's no reason to watch really. It's going to come down
to counting the votes weeks after the election. I'm
predicting.

Hopefully Kerry wins big, but I'm not holding my breath.

there is quite a lot of coverage at the moment on out news
channels. BBC news 24 had a special today, the Bush
supporters always ammuse me with their logic (or lack):

They interviewed this Bush fan (a biker) asking why he
supports Bush, he said 'because he supports small
businesses', when the guy at the bbc pointed out Bush
supports Large businesses he said 'so what?'.

is?

Tuesday morning sometime. I'm gussing early. Florida and
some other states have already started voting. And they're
already running into problems with missing ballots. Should
be more entertaining than the superbowl.

no... I was just saying that reading your post it lookd like
you were talking about a sports match or a tv show or a
movie

but in a funny way, dont take me serious

I am not gonna watch it cos I got things to do, but I will
be inerested in knowing the results of course, cos I live in
this world, and I want to know who is going to bomb the next
country

I have never watched the superbowl... I prefer sports that
require intelligence

I tried to convince my PE teacher that chess was a sport
once. It didn't go down too well.

Maybe not chess, but Counter-strike sure is a real sport
>_<

it's not a real sport unless you get shot in the
head

general knowledge question at each hurdle to pass. It would
be bloody amazing
