Can anyone recommend a few media outlets online that you know will provide around-the-clock coverage of the election night presidential returns?

I'm guessing that ABCNews might have it LIVE and I heard that the Associated Press will as well, but I'm not sure. What about C-SPAN online?

Won't have Gunga Dan's (Rather) folksy attempts at humor to endure this time around at least.

As long as you post your inquiry in caps lock, you'll get the best answer.

I use a program called Paltalk www.paltalk.com which is free. Let me capitalize that, FREE. Bold now, FREE (ooh!!! aah!!!)

They stream everything that is live and sometimes recorded stuff too. You'll have to go to the category "Social Issues and Politics" and then "Government & Politics". Usually, one of the top rooms will have what's current.

It's possible that MSNBC will have a live feed from their website. If not, you can watch both MSNBC and FOX on this website:

What about Obama's 30 minute infomercial Wednesday night? Does anyone know if it will be online? I'd like to see it.

I'm not sure about watching it live, but my guess is after the fact it will be on Obama's site as well as YouTube.

Sunday, Nov. 2: Democrats Abroad ROK �CHANGE� Finale Photo

A lot of people in Democrats Abroad ROK have put their hearts and souls into helping Barack Obama become president, because not only do we know what his presidency would mean for the United States, but we also know, with extreme clarity, what it would mean for the world.

In honor of this, under the theme, �CHANGE�Can Make a World of Difference,� we invite everyone to gather together at Independence Gate (Dongnimmun Station, line 3, exit 4) in Seoul, this Sunday, Nov. 2, at 5:00pm, for a Get Out The Vote Finale Photo. Modeled after the Arc de Triomphe, Independence Gate (Dongnimmun) was built in 1897 by activist Seo Jae-Pil and the Independence Club �to reaffirm the country�s determination to be free.� As this monument symbolizes Korea's desire for freedom, liberation, and change, we thought it an appropriate location to document our commitment to change, as well.

We will have lots of Obama buttons and �Yes We Can� stickers available, and we encourage you to make your own �CHANGE� sign and bring it along. What does change mean to you?! Plus, all participants will have a copy of the photo emailed to them.

Please join us on Sunday for this wonderful opportunity to shake hands with fellow Obama supporters. Change CAN make a world of difference. Yes. We. Can.

Wed., Nov. 5: Election Returns Party

Democrats Abroad ROK invites all Obama supporters to join us on Nov. 5th for an Election Returns Party at the Orange Tree in Haebangchon, 10:00am-7:00pm, to watch history be made.

The Orange Tree will be decorated to the hilt as we gather for breakfast and eagerly begin watching the election results as they come in�and watching Senator Obama become President Obama! We will have a projector showing the returns on a large screen, as well as having several other computers on hand to check other polls/returns throughout the day. Lots of activities are planned throughout the day, so please feel free to drop in whenever you can!

To get to the Orange Tree in Haebangchon, go out exit 2 of Noksapyeong Station, line 6. Walk straight down the road until you reach the first intersection where the road veers off to the left, by the kimchi pots. Walk up that road approx. 5 minutes. The Orange Tree will be on your right, on the second floor, above Indigo restaurant.

Thanks for the link, Dave. I enjoyed watching it. Woulda liked a bit of soaring inspiration at the end, but the message that needed to be there was there.
