If they haven't covered it for any other state, why would they start now?

That was actually me making fun of myself, and it's an inside joke you wouldn't really get.

o. okl  but CNN hasn't said anything yet about Tuesday and neither has any of the other channels so I will just check somehow online unless u all know something about the TV networks.

Networks never cover state primary results except in extremely rare circumstances (Lieberman/Lamont for example).

Your local networks will cover it on the news that day and night. National news broadcasts don't really need to report the results unless there is a high profile race (Lieberman vs. Lamont, as mentioned).
