For a majority of the country, Tuesday is election day. 22 states are holding primaries or caucuses in the race to become a party's presidential candidate. The day is described as a "make it or break it" event for campaigns all across the board. And with no clear front-runners on the Republican side and a bitter rivalry between the two front contenders on the Democratic side, this is one exciting, unpredictable election to watch. Even though Michigan held their primary already (even if our delegates will count or not), the results of "Super Tuesday" will be exciting to watch. Here are what the news outlets are planning for coverage:
NBC - NBC will have the shortest election special, from 10-11pm ET. Brian Williams, Tim Russert and Tom Brokaw will all anchor, with Ann Curry giving exit poll results. Williams will also be anchoring a one-hour edition of Nightly News at 6:30pm ET.
ABC - Live coverage begins at 8pm ET with Charles Gibson, Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos. Kate Snow, Cynthia McFadden and others will contribute throughout the night.

The CW- Just kidding.
Ahaha. I love that. But you know, that'd be a great way to get young people interested in politics.
Just imagaine it- Tyra Banks & Clark Kent (ok, Tom Welling) giving updates on which candidate has the most delegates.
Clark would be sitting there with his steely blue eyes, and Tyra would be saying of the race between Obama and Hilary, "That's fierce!"
