Silly NBC Gimmick

Turning Rockefeller Plaza into an entire election set for NBC. There are buckets that are going up the GE Building to signify the Electoral Votes for each candidate and on the Rockefeller Plaza ice rink, the map will turn red or blue depending on which state John McCain or Barack Obama win. Just show us the basics. There’s no need for gimmicks.

And just wait until I write about ABC’s Times Square gimmick.

I just may turn on the radio and shut the TV off.
