I think it is really interesting how President Obama's intro had the full backing of the NBC/MSNBC election theme, while it only played underneath the McCain soundbyte. That was totally coincidental. 

[walshjp7]

@HoustonCommercials I have to admit that I noticed that too. It's perhaps too much to say it was intentional. But even as someone who voted for Obama I cringed.

[Kwpolska]

“Democracy Plaza” was better.

I Believe This Was NBC News' Today Video Open From Tuesday Morning, November 4, 2008.

[TaylorMMontgomery]

yes, the political analysis may differ from network to network, and some say one network is better than the other, but I'm sorry... nobody can touch NBC's election music... it's so powerful and moving.

[growingup15]

Wow i love the music the graphics everyhting about this opening. its amazing.

[mattfitz6]

so they do it ALL over again for the west coast?

[kgutowsk]

This was the start of a bad day for real hard working Americans playing it by the rules.

[mattyohe]

Based on your grasp of the english language, I would conclude you're not making more than 250k a year, so you haven't actually seen a tax increase.

[HoustonCommercials]

@mattyohe I think it is foolish to not see that Obamacare was a tax increase for EVERY American. Period.

[Bloodybunny]

Wow, Meredith's read on this was just in a DEATHLY monotone. I don't remember the East Coast feed having been like this, though I could be wrong.

[Nipponkoku]

I miss waking up to this awesome music.

The election coverage music was exciting.

[wakka922201]

Especially NBC's.. great energy, builds excitement. seems all of their themes are consistent with the NBC chime.

[Nipponkoku]

Yeah, for real. And what an exciting day it was.

I get chills listening to it - knowing it was the beginning of the end for a long, hard 8 years.

[grapesofwraith1066]

@Nipponkoku I believe at least MSNBC will be using the theme for the 2010 midterms elections! I can't wait until November just to hear the music!

[jbrothers92]

This was the begining of one of the greatest days of my life.

[Gman1025]

[grapesofwraith1066]

I love how they have the waving flag- it's like watching The West Wing!

[ScottyUrb]

Meredith sounded WAY too much like she was reading from a script. No enthusiasm.

[Robshow35]

Nice to see they made a special open for the West Coast where we in Oklahoma are seeing hour #3 at that time.
