[ncrainbowgrrl]

6. True- but it's nice to go into the recount ahead...

especially since the recount usually includes the provisional voters' ballots...

[MnFats]

8. personally i can wait to see this viscious old racist hump vanquished..

...i expect a sublime feeling whenit's finally called.

[demo dutch]

13. will voter intimidation come into play?

[sabbat hunter]

[quiet.american]

LET IT HAPPEN,

[usregimechange]

4. Richmond City came in!

[survivor999]

26. Yes, they're deep blue.

[survivor999]

28. If I ever have to live in VA

I want to be in Richmond City.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

59. Richmond City - Very Blue

Surrounding 'burbs - red as Allen's neck.

[Thrill]

7. WOW JUST WOW

[marmar]

9. Oh let it be....

Let's flush the macaca tonight.

[TheDonkey]

[soothsayer]

15. cool! but where are you seeing this? virginia interactive doesn't

have that yet

where are you looking? i want to be there!

[jobycom]

23. CNN's numbers show more votes than the state's election returns

I've been wondering about that, too. CNN must be getting the numbers before the state updates its web site, but even the state news sources have the same numbers as the state.

I'll assume CNN's numbers are the most current, but if they aren't, I'll never trust them again. I barely do now! :)

[Yukari Yakumo]

24. MSNBC totals...

Jim Webb (DEM) 1,141,052 49%
George Allen (REP)* 1,138,676 49%

99% of precincts reporting

[minkyboodle]

16. WOOOOOOO!!!!

I know a recount is coming but WOOOOOOOOOOOO so nice
to go into it ahead. I was hoping for this all night

[Old and In the Way]

17. This may takes days...but I can wait.

Make every vote count and the #1 Republican Presidential candidate in 2008 is history. Eat Poop, Felix.

[eleny]

18. Yipeeeeee!!!

[Crunchy Frog]

19. Please, please, please, please, please!!!!!

[minkyboodle]

20. MSNBC not reporting this yet

Still have Maccaca ahead

[usregimechange]

25. The State SOS has him too but CNN gets it quicker:

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2006/pages/results/states/VA/S/01/index.html

[minkyboodle]

man I hope this holds up

I had just about given up hope. I think having the vote
favoring you going into the recount could be huge.

[AIJ Alom]

21. No recount. Come on Webb-sters get those absentees in and

make the difference bigger than 11,000 votes. It's gonna happen. WATCH.

[kevin881]

22. recount yes, but better to be ahead when the unofficial results come in. eom

[Sparkly]

27. True! nt

[Lefty48197]

31. Official VA state page still has Allen ahead with 99.10% reporting

He's ahead 1,139,550 to 1,137,793 for a 1757 vote deficit for Webb to make up.

[cobaindrain]

34. those numbers seem less recent than CNN stuff

[cobaindrain]

35. CNN has Webb 1,141,052

[survivor999]

38. NUmbers:

CNN:

Webb: 1,141,052
Allen: 1,138,676

VA site:
Webb: 1,137,793
ALlen: 1,139,550

WEIRD

[davidwparker]

42. I like the CNN numbers. Update the official site, VA!

[AtomicKitten]

32. if there is a god ....

[davidwparker]

43. there is atomickitten. the GOP is feeling His wrath tonight.

[Union Thug]

33. WOW... What a roller coaster ride...the thrilla in manilla replayed!

[minkyboodle]

36. LOL

Thrilla in Manilla was definitely a roller coaster of a fight
but I would argue by the 12th round it was clear Frazier was done...
This fight is even closer, but I sure do appreciate the boxing
reference :)

[Cronquist]

37. Wow

Just wow.

[AIJ Alom]

39. Counties (and percentages) yet to report.

Webb Counties
11% Charlottesville.
2% Arlington.
1% Fairfax.
14% Fairfax City.
8% Isle of Wight.
7% Loudon.

Allen Counties.
8% Glouchester.
17% Harrisionberg.
9% Prince Edward.
1% Virginia Beach.


Webb has a shot of pulling this out or making Allen (bye bye presidency) pay for the recount.

[huckleberry]

44. Jim Webb Wins 73% of Arlington Vote (from press release)

Jim Webb Wins 73% of Arlington Vote; Zimmerman Re-Elected to Arlington Board

Baird elected to School Board; Arlington rejects "marriage amendment"

ARLINGTON, Va. – Arlington County Board Chairman Christopher Zimmerman was reelected to the County Board, according to unofficial results reported by the Arlington Registrar’s Office. Sally M. Baird was elected to the Arlington School Board.

Arlington voters voted against the so-called "marriage amendment" to the Virginia

Yay!! I live in Arlington and I voted and volunteered for Jim Webb!!!

[davidwparker]

46. 8% of Glouchester is like 8% of near nothing.

1% VA Beach is a part of Hampton Roads in southeast VA. Webb won several Hampton Roads cities. I can't think right now where Harrisonberg is.

[kevin881]

40. hmmm typos on CNN?

the official VA site seems to have the numbers reversed for the candidates webb and macaca... does cnn and msnbc have it wrong???

[troublemaker]

53. Just RW rumor mongering. They were never inverted (look at all 7 digits)

[msongs]

41. msnbc now shows webb ahead by 2376 votes! nt

[spooky3]

45. VA State Bd of Elections site still shows Allen ahead

with approximately the reverse votes that MSNBC and CCN are reporting:

Allen 1,142K
Webb 1,140K

http://sbe.virginiainteractive.org/

[SaveElmer]

47. I doubt the networks are getting their numbers from the website...

Probably directly from the Bd of elections, so may post them slightly quicker...

It is now too close that the absentees won't be decisive

[survivor999]

50. Not anymore.

[Kermitt Gribble]

48. Tweety just said

33,000 votes in Fairfax not counted yet. Webb leaning!

[lyonn]

57. Heard the same thing! That is Blue Territory so they say

Sooo, no wonder Alan was a bit short with his speech. He was not a happy camper - lovin' it! 33,000 votes to be counted, that could put Webb well over the top. it will be a long night.

[thatsrightimirish]

49. I have a feeling

Fox News will give it to Allen. Just a suspicion.

[troublemaker]

51. The totals were NEVER inverted. It's a RW rumour making the cell-phone rounds.

I've been watching the AP and Va State numbers all night and there was a point where they appeared inverted because AP and Va were adding precint totals in a different order, but the last three digits were not the same. Republican mischief.

[Pachamama]

52. Macaca just said good nite, but that he's not conceding...

Fine...let the piece of crap get some sleep to prepare for his defeat....Based on what I saw today from monitoring and speaking with poll workers, Virginia had so much crap going on that it will only be shown that there was mass disenfranchisement on the parts of Repukes going on...

[blindedbyfear]

58. The guilty always sleep

They always say that you can tell if someone is guilty after being arrested if they sleep through the night. Allen's done. He can go fuck himself.

[Pachamama]

61. It's not that they sleep - its the fact that they sleep soundly...

Sociopaths are like that....Bush sleeps like a baby at night too...

[Recursion]

54. OK, I'll be the jackass and say it

25000 Green votes.

25000.

Fuck every God-damned Green voter ever.

[survivor999]

60. At least they did not vote R!

Just saying.

[Yukari Yakumo]

55. MSNBC pushes Webb ahead by 2700 votes

As I said earlier, this one won't be decided tonight.

[Canuckistanian]

56. And DON'T FORGET the MAIL-IN VOTES

They're going to be counted tomorrow, and they're most likely to be overwhelmingly Democtratic votes.
