Re: US Election Open Thread (none / 0)

What counties have reported?

IIRC, the NE comes in last.

NE is trickling in. Alexandria's up to about 30%. Arlington's only at 10%. Fairfax at 2%.

That means you communists haven't had your results added in to the total.

Talking heads on BBC saying McCain won't take VA now.

Virginia seems to be closing kinda-sorta quick, and we still have a good bit to go in NoVa.

Are they basing that on anything?

Re: US Election Open Thread (none / 0)

The rural margins aren't enough to balance out the projected city vote.

Not sure how useful or true that is, but it's a data point.

Also VA wasn't called for Webb in 2006 until nearly midnight, and he squeaked a win after being some way behind. So - not totally unlikely.

I'm feeling good about Virginia.

The separation is about 60,000 and near as I can tell the rural areas have all reported.

It's closer than I would like and it must be admitted it's still a toss-up.

Less than that. 26,000.

Obama's beating McCain ass in Fairfax County. If that holds up, I think we'll pull it out.

Can't it go faster ? It's kind of keeping me out of bed.

Re: US Election Open Thread (none / 0)

Only 18000 spread in favor of McCain right now in Virginia, it's going to Obama now...
