From CBS News taped from WJW-TV 8 in Cleveland, OH in November 1988, nearly 20 years ago. Each part is roughly 10 minutes...giving you a good 40 minutes or so of Election Night 1988 coverage.

I've been waiting for this stuff for a few months...this guy is real nice and uploaded the 1980 and 1984 election night coverage...and says he has more videos including 1992 election all the way through 2000.

PART ONE: http://youtube.com/watch?v=xNl2RQ-rJqw
PART TWO: http://youtube.com/watch?v=xfHLIbi60Ro
PART THREE: http://youtube.com/watch?v=omFEbN0AJXM&feature=related
PART FOUR: http://youtube.com/watch?v=xr1IyeuMlu8

That coverage makes me want to punch Dan Rather so bad.

He only got above 40% in some heavily GOP counties where Bush got 70%.

I noticed that one of the reporters was talking about a socialist candidate(Bernie Sanders) that was on track to win VT-AL.  He didnt end up winning, but is there any more coverage of House races for 1988?

I didn't know Sanders lost his first run for that seat, but now looking it up you're right. I found the commentary on it very interesting in hindsight obviously.

The guy has about three hours worth...and I'm sure that includes the declaration of President-elect Dukakis...but he said 45 minutes is enough to upload. He offered me to buy a DVD of it for a small fee.

Dan Rather and Bob Scheifer are class.

Surely Dukakis didn't think that '18 state strategy' had a snowballs chance in hell of working.

I gotta admit...I used to dislike Dan Rather (I grew up with Brokaw and Jennings as household names), but as I look back...he was cool, no doubt.

Illinois was the last battleground state to be called that night.  It was shown on NBC's ending credits as TCTC.
