ABC News announced on Tuesday that it will partner with Facebook to cover the midterm elections.

On Election Night in November, ABC News will feature reports from Facebook's headquarters in Palo Alto. The channel's coverage of the elections will also be streamed live on Facebook, as well as on ABC's website and iPad app.

In addition, in the weeks leading up to the election, Facebook will be seeking out voters in congressional swing districts, and soliciting questions for local debates.

ABC also announced that Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos will be anchoring the channel's Election Night coverage on November 2nd.

Michael Moore: Dems Come Alive!

Just four weeks until the midterm elections and I'm starting to feel that maybe, just maybe, Democrats will prevent an All Souls Day Massacre. And if the Dems escape death's door, they had better not let this nonsense happen again.

I don't understand Facebook. I don't know what I'm doing there. Not sure what "friends" are for. My name has several pages worth of alike names. How would someone I know in real life know which one is me? What the heck is the wall supposed to accomplish? Fah!
