Last night, instead of finding a television to watch breaking election news, I stayed at my computer, checking back in to credible news sites to find out any updates. This made me think back to the ways I used to find out breaking election news-- even sophomore year, during the Presidential election, I remember being with a ridiculous amount of people huddled around a dorm room television. And I could've done this again I guess, if I'd wanted, but I think that something has changed in the way America and I do politics.

There are many advantages to using the internet instead of the television to find out breaking election news. For one thing, I didn't have to sit through some news anchor's meaningless drivel as he tried to fill up time between election projections. I was also able to immediately access information regarding the exact races I was interested in finding out about, without having to sit through in-depth profiles of Nebraska's House candidates. Most importantly, at least for me, I was able to multi-task throughout the whole night, keeping a handle on both my school work and the future of America! Did anyone else find that this year they shifted to the internet from watching television for election coverage?
