2. Where are all those USMC absentee ballots? Bet they're ALL WEBB

Silver fucking Star, Vietnam vet, kid in the sandbox? How about all those USN ballots? Former SECNAV?

Anything under the margin of error, I'd DEMAND A RECOUNT if I were him. And I'd get the A team in there to oversee it.

[Poll_Blind]

7. Seriously! I agree...I even think it's "prudent"...not some...

..."spoiler" thing to do. When it's within those margins...and the alternative is a Repuke, well...

PB

[oasis]

3. Recount and review Rethug voter suppression tactics. Allen is toast 2008.

[kevin881]

[TheDonkey]

9. Webb 51%??????!!!!!! WHAT

[Divine Discontent]

11. go to the link

[Earth_First]

13. Right now, the decimal point is essential...

BIG difference in reporting 51% and .51% (but I'll forgive them...) ;)

[cobaindrain]

12. I don't think webb

webb down by .51, half a point

[cobaindrain]

14. now it's over

Macaca up .60 now, 13,000 votes

[Sparkly]

16. Okay, how about waiting until it's actually OVER now...

You've been proclaiming all night it was "over."

[Riddler]

17. People in Virginia may not be idiots, but I'll be damned if I'll ever spend

another hard-earned dollar of mine in Virginia Beach!

[ACK]

15. Whether we win or lose by less than 1% I will smack the hell out of the next schmuck here who ...

Says people in VA are idiots.

[Roland99]

18. These idiots in Va......

:P



:D

[ACK]

20. You asked for it. My fucking rant on the South and the Dems

You want to know who lost the solid south? Mean old Repukes in their Southern Strategy?

Bullshit the south was dominant Dems until the Repuke revolution buddy. Fucking GA voted for Bill Clinton for gawd sakes.

But the Dems had to sit on their ass and never address the gains the conservatives were making and never figured out how to deal with the wedge issues.

So suburban moms, black voters and lots of white voters in the more urban areas of the south who vote Dem and keep the margins in the south a lot closer than in parts of midwest and the west proper what do we get?

Do we get some help or a strategy?

Does anyone even give a flat fuck?

Oh hell no its all fuck the South. Forget that the border states are turning slowly but surely. Forget that Northern VA has more folks from Pittsburg than people who grew up in the deep south.

Oh forget all of that shit.

Just blame the lack of caring and plan on us. You got your scapegoat. I am right here bitch.

Until Howard Dean and his 50 state strategy I was just another abandoned Southern democrat. Fuck the South?

But you keep that attitude and the region will keep fucking you right back.

[SaveElmer]

I live in Virginia...and I am very hopeful for the future...but

There are significant number of people here...predominantly men...who are idiots...

There are sections of this state that don't think the South lost the Civil War. It's a fact...

Webb did a great job, and it may not be over. In he comes up short he will be the prohibitive favorite to take John Warner's seat in 2 years...

Northern Virginia continues to grow and turn blue...its influence will only get larger as time goes by.

[geek tragedy]

19. Only a bare majority are. But, maybe they just like racism, war

and corruption.

[ACK]

21. We were and may still be close to turning out an Senator who wanted to run for President

In a state that leans Repuke. Despite voter suppression being investigated right now by the FBI.

[LostinVA]

22. You tell 'em!

[geek tragedy]

29. Allen ran the worst campaign in the entire country, is a racist,

supports a failed war, is thoroughly corrupt, and was opposed by a conservative war hero Democrat.

And they still voted for racism, corruption, and war.

And Virginia is supposedly one of the more civilized of the Confederate states.

Take away Northern Virginia, and it's the cast from Deliverance.

[ACK]

50. And every year Dems wrestle control bit by bit from the Repukes and racists

And endure fuck the south comments from fellow Du'ers.

[soothsayer]

25. Feh! Check the freakin' marriage amendment (grrrr, grrrr)

[Elidor]

42. The Virginia Democratic Party has done a good job against this entrenched bigot

As far as I am concerned, the glass is more than half full in Virginia. Like Greg Palast said, to counter all the lies and robocalls and outright cheating and supression by the GOP, we really need about 55% to win any given election. If we only get 54%, our Virginia brothers and sisters have done very well in the face of the forces of hatred and sleaze. Carry me back to old Virginee!

[davidwparker]

24. Not 100% yet: Richmond, Arlington, Fairfax, Newport News, other counties

[soothsayer]

26. Arlington not in yet??

[SaveElmer]

27. Yeah it is...

Loudoun and part of Richmond still have to report...

And if Absentee votes have not been counted...it could be a few days before we know for sure...

Webb did a great job and has a great future here!

[davidwparker]

30. the site still says 49 out of 50

[dicknbush]

28. FUCK WASHINTON POST IS WITHDRAWING WIN FOR CARDIN IN Md.

Steele is not conceding this is not good! FUCK FUCK FUCK !!!

[cobaindrain]

31. Cardin has it won, Steele is just being a Bitchasarous Rex

[Earth_First]

32. A bit of Santorum-itis this evening? n/t

[marmar]

37. Bitchasaurus Rex....LOL

:) I'm going to have to use that on the fundie lady at work tomorrow when she proclaims that hell is upon us as a result of the election.

[Roland99]

33. Webb within 4,800 votes! 0.21% difference...97.42% reporting!!

[Kermitt Gribble]

34. MSNBC said

11,000 vote difference or less triggers a recount paid for by the state.

[Roland99]

35. Webb now only down 3,100 votes...2.33% left

[Ice4Clark]

36. Come on Webb................

make those numbers move

[survivor999]

38. 2500 votes....

http://us.cnn.com/ELECTION/2006//pages/results/states/VA/

[blindedbyfear]

39. HOLD THE PHONE!

CNN Reporting Webb up by 3K at 99% - Richmond City and Arlington County still coming in.

How's CNN getting more current #s than the VA state website?

[Roland99]

40. Cuz they're lying. Webb down 1,800 votes with 99.1% Reporting.

[TheFarseer]

41. Everyone on TV still acting like Webb lost

what the heck is going on? Are they just a little slow?

[survivor999]

44. These are the CNN numbers:

http://us.cnn.com/ELECTION/2006//pages/results/states/VA/

and the VA numbers:

http://sbe.virginiainteractive.org/index.htm

It could be the VA site is lying...

[cobaindrain]

47. the CNN numbers are more current

[survivor999]

43. I noticed that too.

[eleny]

45. Lou Dobbs shaking his head and looking somber

:rofl:

[Silent3]

46. Webb now ahead!

[lwcon]

48. "So, come on Virginia show me a sign"

Gonna have that Billy Joel song in my head until this thing's settled.

___

Hey, the liberal light is always on at the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy. Please stop by and say "hi!"

[ninkasi]

49. Cuz only the good die young...
