Remember: 1) early unmodulated exit polls are garbage; 2) early VA returns will be heavily GOP, with blue counties reporting later at night.

Northern Va which is where Obama will run massive tallies will be the last to come in. McCain was up in Va early in 08 as well.

McCain was winning in 2008 until they reported. At present they are less than 1% in.
