MSNBC's Coverage of the 2008 Election

Airs on MSNBC every important night of the election.

Chris Matthews is the best political newsman working on television today. His collaboration with Keith Olberman provides pitch perfect analysis and discussion of the events of whatever primary or election is occurring. Matthews has a great center-right worldview and the bona fides (chief of staff for Tip O'Neill in the 1980's) that make his opinion relevant. Olberman is an insufferable liberal, but he's quick witted and provides a good balance to Matthews. They occasionally throw it to Brian Williams (smart and funny), Tim Russert (overrated, but still good) and Tom Brokaw (obvious Clinton apologist that misses the spotlight) for quality (except for Brokaw) analysis. The place to be on any election night. Tomorrow's Wisconsin Primary should provide another good opportunity to watch this team in action.
