Tired of the election night talking heads? Current TV may be the medicine you need. My friends, if you thought the coverage that’s been going on since the day after the 2006 Congressional election has been overwhelming, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Come sunrise on November 4th the television airwaves will be inundated with election coverage, comment, pontification, and general BS. Red states will become blue, blue states will become red, graphs will be drawn on easel boards with black marker and someone will predict the winner of the entire Presidential election at 7:00:01 p.m.

So, if you are wholly disinterested in the old way that the elections are covered you may want to tune into Current TV, or its website if you don’t have the channel on your digital box, for an alternative to get the results you need. In this case, it’s you, the couch potato that you’re, who will be providing the coverage. It’s called “Current Diggs the Election” and the way it works will be one-of-a-kind.
