...Brit Hume, the Washington, D.C., managing editor of Fox News, will lead tonight's election coverage on the news station of choice for most of the White House. Hume's "fair and balanced" coverage begins at 6 p.m. Eastern and continues until at least midnight. Fox News Channel plays constantly aboard Vice President Dick Cheney's plane, and it was Fox coverage that was flickering on a corner television in the White House residence when reporters were taken upstairs on election night in 2004. Hume, a University of Virginia graduate, was with ABC News for 23 years and was that...
...HUME: At first, it'll be suspenseful, assuming you have a rooting interest in one party or the other. First of all, until we know the outcome in the House, which is the one where we're more likely to see a change, there'll be a lot of suspense about that. Once we know, and of course we can't tell how late it'll be before we know, then of course you have the second issue, which is the Senate, which we may know early or late. Beyond that, it becomes a discussion of what it all means...
...HUME: We've looked at this over and over again. We will probably have a pretty clear indication early from polling.

It's not clear that there will a nationwide trend. But there's a good chance there will. And if there is, in one clear direction or another, we may see it in those...
...HUME: If it's a big Democratic night, the obvious indication that we have it that it's all about the war. We will obviously scan the exit polling to see if there are other factors in the race that we don't immediately see, as sometimes there turn out to be, and that will be an interesting element of the whole evening. If the Republicans succeed in holding this back - either in one house or, less probably, in both, which is still possible - then it'll be a very interesting night of soul-searching about how this could possibly...
...case received a radical reconfiguring when former State Department bigwig Richard Armitage confirmed that he was the original source for columnist Robert Novak's revelation. Novak weighed in last week, calling Armitage's contrition bogus and the leak deliberate. In the D.C. bureau of Fox News, anchor Brit Hume goaded Plamegate chronicler David Corn into an off-camera shouting spree. "Both leaked classified information, Brit!" Corn raged. "Go ahead and laugh!" Here, TIME re-evaluates some major players. [This article contains a table. Please see hardcopy of magazine.] CAST OF CHARACTERS WHAT YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW WHAT SEEMS...
