anyone watching the VA results? do we have a thread for this? if not, im gonna live blog here i think...unless i watch the lakers

christie already declared winner right off the bat.

i must say, the VA results so far look pretty bad for dems, but u have to figure those are the red counties out west. the rumored turnout and exit polls are very good for terry m.

What an awful, awful day it is when I find myself rooting for Terry piece-of-**** McAuliffe. I'm going to need another shower tonight.

The McAuliffe districts are going to come in last. His base is in the population-dense north and river counties. I'm not saying he'll win for sure, but chances are early returns will look better for Cooch than later returns.

Wow, reports of Cucchi's campaign being dead seem to be in error.

Cities tend to have lines which tend to force polling locations to stay open longer which means they report their returns after rural areas that have less numbers to report and can do it earlier.

Never underestimate Democrats' ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Especially when that Democrat is Terry McAwful.

Pretty much this. And also it's just more people and more dense areas. People who actually have to talk to people-not-like-them tend to vote for Democrats more often, so urban and high-population areas tend to be reported the latest... leading to all kinds of conservative conspiritarding.

Fairfax/Prince William/Loudon are only about 30% in. Don't panic just yet.

Usually Fairfax County, which leans heavily democrat, reports way later than other counties. Was like this in the presidential election. Cuccinelli's lead is overstated.

McAuliffe's wiki entry aorn:

Quote:

At this time, WIkipedia is prepared to announce via secret sources (it's all very hush-hush, but the source is probably not my waiter at the Charlottesville Applebee's) that Terry McAuliffe will be crowned the Commonwealth's next governor. McAuliffe, of course, ran on a platform of ensuring that each and every Virginia resident had access to puppies at all times, to combat the growing tide of sadness that swept in from the West when people in the state realized that their sibling state, West Virginia, would always be "left out."
