And, of course, CNN, Current, FNC and MSNBC are going to be on the air morning, noon and night talking about this before there's anything to talk about and long after everything has been decided.

The title of this episode of "The Daily Show" is "Election Night 2012: This Ends Now."

And the title of this episode of "The Colbert Report" is "Election 2012: A Nation Votes, Ohio Decides; The Re-Presidenting of America: Who Will Replace Obama? '12."
