Here is Fred Barnes’ guide

Here is Fred Barnes’ guide to keeping score while watching the election returns. My advice, for what it’s worth, is not to watch the networks at all. Either follow the election on the internet, where you can look at the races you’re interested in and avoid mindless blather and bias, or find something entirely different to do and check in towards the end of the evening, when things have started to take shape. I’ll probably watch the Washington Wizards take on the Minnesota T-Wolves and check in on the election during time-outs.
