1. I know Florida sure looks good for Obama right now /nt

[Sulawesi]

2. When Northern VA precincts report

and Charlottesville...if the area east of Richmond looks blue we win big...

[Dennis Donovan]

3. The rural counties report first - they're mostly McCain...

...the urban/suburban areas report later (more votes to count) - they'll break heavily for Obama.:thumbsup:

5. thank you

[LostinVA]

4. Charlottesville, Richomd, NOVA, Hampton Roads -- probably 9-11

6. Dont worry about it right now

Im from VA, and Ive tracked a lot of statewide races. Obama is doing fine right now.

[Zech Marquis The 2nd]

7. bigger areas report later

The fact that Obama is doing well in the rural areas is a good sign, but we do have a ways to go yet.

8. Do you mean the REAL Virginia...

or the place where all the socialist Obama-voters live?

[EconomicLiberal]

9. Just chill - Western Virginia is just reporting now.

That's it.

Obama was expected to get beaten there by large margins.

10. I am so not worried about this

Those are super rural, unpopulated counties, reporting, which is why they're reporting at this point.

11. I am not very encouraged about VA, McSame have been running

Malicious ads on how Obama would cut defense spending if elected. Lets remember though it's still too early to call.

12. I'm worried. 6% VA reporting. It's been called for Dem Sen Warner. Trying to chill.nt

[thatsrightimirish]

13. warner was ahead by 30 points in the polls

Obama's average was around 5. It was very obvious that Warner was going to win about a year ago.

[Honeycombe8]

14. Ahhhh. I am chillin'. Thx. I needed that. (I want ALL the votes at once, please!) nt

15. When Richmond and the northern counties start reporting

Right now Obama is 20,000 off of Warner's totals, but (a) Warner was way ahead in the polls and (b) the areas that have reported so far tend to be republican.

Virginia is no guarantee, of course, but it's far from over yet.

16. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING DAY AND NIGHT. EVERY DAY. EVERY HOUR. IN VIRGINIA!!

MARYLAND AND D.C. VOLUNTEERS ROCK!!! MCCAIN HAS NO GROUND GAME!! Obama had 59 offices to McCain's 19. He had virtually no volunteers. Poor phone banking. All he had were negative ads.

NoVA and other BLUE counties, which are the largest in the state, have not returned votes yet...
