1. Here's the link to the state's official results when there announced.

3. Excellent thanks

I found that site when looking for Roanoke County results. Problems already reported in Roanoke County (65% W in 2004 but nearly split on one of the House races not at all on another)

2. Thanks.

4. They won't report until polls close

Media is (rightly) under the impression that reporting results before the polls close could bias results. An important thing in presidential races across 6 time zones, but maybe not as important here.

At least in the old days for these sorts of races the major media outlets would use the same reporting service(s) and a slew of volunteers to get the results in. I don't think one local site is going to be anything more than a couple of minutes faster than the others at the most. I would use the local media company's website who is the most progressive so they can get the advertising dollars.

5. What are the areas to watch that should be good for Tim Kaine?

I know Charlottesville and surrounding area, and Fairfax...what others should be showing blue when the results come in...and what so-called moderate Republic areas should be showing blue?

[mastein]

6. Loudoun is a good barometer

THe fastest growing county in the state. The west is VERY conservative (home to Patrick Henry College where Shrub gets most of his flunkies for 1600) but anti growth.

[nerddem]

7. fairfax is also reliable

i forget where i heard it, but apparently fairfax always votes with the gubernatorial winner

[Zynx]

8. That may not be true anymore.

Kerry was the first Democrat to win Fairfax county on a national level since 1964. I think it has trended so much towards the Democrats now I don't think it is a good indicator anymore. If Kaine wins by over 10% in Fairfax, that's a good sign.

[...of J.Temperance]

9. What county is Richmond in? Is it Democratic or Repuke?

Arlington I would expect to be Democratic, what with it being so near to DC.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

12. There is the City of Richmond, as well as a county called Richmond.

Two different places. The City of Richmond is the capital of the commonwealth. Richmond County is located elsewhere.

[...of J.Temperance]

14. Okay, I've got that, two different places

Do they usually go our way though? I would think that the City of Richmond should be for us...but I might be wrong.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

34. City generally goes Dem. I think Richmond Co. is GOP land.

[nerddem]

13. well i'm just talking about gubernatorial elections

turnout is so lopsided for presidential years that it's not a good indicator of what can be possible here

[...of J.Temperance]

15. Everything is so lopsided anymore

So don't worry about it ;)

[...of J.Temperance]

10. I'll be

Keeping an eye on Loudoun then.

[mastein]

35. Damn, I got one right!!

How does one say a place is a good barometer and then they get the exact numbers as the whole state. I'll take a victory lap now! ;-)

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

11. City of Richmond.

[demnan]

25. Watch Prince William County

East of the I-95 cooridor it tends to go blue just west of there, outside of the condos, it tends red.

Prince William, with it's inner and outer suburbs is indicative of the state. Long time Dem state delegate candidates who are very popular don't hurt.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

32. Alexandria

Where can I find those numbers?

Please?

[Zynx]

16. Damn...How long does it take for any results to show up? ;-)

[nerddem]

17. i'd say you have about half an hour to booze it up n/t

[Catchawave]

18. The link is soooooooooooooo slow....

I have CNN on and Wolf is wetting his pants...Kilgore at 64%....!!!???!!!!

[Buck Turgidson]

19. Kaine leading at 7:54pm

T M Kaine Democratic 274,553 51.19%
J W Kilgore Republican 250,031 46.61%

[bhunt70]

20. Im getting confused with all the flip flop. Lets just keep Kaine up top!

[Buck Turgidson]

21. Well, Kaine just rocketed ahead. So he is "on top"!

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

22. Kaine contracts surging....Kilsuck tanking...

click on politics -> us governors races on the right

[Buck Turgidson]

23. Kaine! 52% v, 45% at 8:07

T M Kaine Democratic 394,570 52.14%
J W Kilgore Republican 346,182 45.74%

I'll keep posting these numbers if you want.

[BlackVelvet04]

24. Kaine still up.....

T M Kaine Democratic 477,878 51.55%
J W Kilgore Republican 429,086 46.29%

I worked the polls from 5-7 pm....lots of people ticked off at kilgore's negative ads.

One woman came in to vote for Kaine because the republicans kept calling her house and she got pissed.

[DC Chak]

26. Fairfax County accounts for nearly the entire lead

28. No Loudoun Co. votes in yet

is that a good sign?

[oxbow]

27. about 1/2 the votes are in now

most of the small precincts have reported...Kaine leads 51-47 and honestly, should carry most of the larger precincts too. More metropolitan generally means more democratic.

If Kilgore wins I will have to seriously question the voting software...I voted in Tysons Corner and I had to use a diebold stealathon3000

[AlecBGreen]

31. looks like Kaine has it...

He's up by 5% (90K votes) with 90% reporting in...the LT Gov and AG are VERY VERY close (0.5 - 1% margin). Keep your fingers crossed!

p.s. This is accurate as of 9:30 pm EST

Can't even get 34% of registered voters to vote. Shaking my head.

30. CNN Projects Kaine the Winner

As of 9:30pm, at least

Funny how prescient our fearless leader was a few days ago:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/11/20051107-4.html

"See, I know a man of character and integrity, and he's standing right next to me. And that's Jerry Kilgore."

"That means he's a down-to-earth person. He doesn't have a lot of fancy airs. That's the kind of guy you want to represent you, a person who understands how the common man thinks, a person who shares the values with the majority of people in the Commonwealth of Virginia."

Durn fuzzy math again, eh W?

[Zynx]

36. Kaine has over 1,000,000 votes now.

The Kaine mandate. Almost 52% of the vote, over a 100,000 vote spread, and an even larger percentage win over the opposition than Warner had.

[smb]

37. Attorney General Race Going Down To The Wire

It could go either way, even with 99% of precincts in. IMO, the fact that Deeds got the NRA endorsement will tip enough of the (otherwise reflexive Pubbie) votes from downstate to win the day.
