We will be in a dreadful cheap hotel so that won't work. And the local bars won't have CNN to go with our espressos. We didn't realize we would miss election night when we grabbed this cheap price months ago. And the Europeans are as anxious about the results as we are. Now where do we go?

I know that the Scholars' Pub down the street from Il Gesu on via Plebiscito toward piazza Venezia has satellite TV (I found SEC football to watch last year at this place), but I don't know if they'll break the sports monopoly to allow for election returns.
