A close race for VA Senate between Democrat incumbent Mark Warner and Republican Ed Gillespie; looking like a toss-up as polls close

This is exit poll based, and from CBS, so take it with a megaton of salt...

Also, CBS News has called Kentucky for McConnel

[Recalcuate]

Warner should win, but that doesn't bode well for Democrats nationwide.

[New_Conservative]

Not surprising to me

[The Vorlon]

Warner should win, but that doesn't bode well for Democrats nationwide.

IF (huge if) Virginia actually is close, the GOP should go +10 in the Senate (ie Brown and Tillis win semi-easily)

Again, Exit poll, CBS.......

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Oh my god no.

[Mehmentum]

Gillepse up 59% to 38%.

But the Republicans always start out massively ahead, so it doesn't mean much.

Yeah, it's just Chesterfield, but dang, this is likely BAD news for Dems not named Warner(if Warner loses, I would be shocked).

So much for #skewedpolls helping the Dems (at least thus far).

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

My friend works for Warner and he's panicking. He'll be out of a job if he loses.

There are only 3 Democrat not named Warner up for election this year in Virginia, they're all in 60% or more Democratic districts.

I was talking more about nationwide.  IF (and this is a big if) that exit poll had some truth in it, it's going to be a long night for the Democrats.

[Vega]

Stop joking, CBS.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Nope.  GOP always starts out way ahead in Virginia, loses steam eventually.

[Phony Moderate]

Warner is a twat so who cares.

[SamInTheSouth]

I think Warner pulls it out

[Panda Express]

The Vorlon is back? Tonight is gonna suck

[Nichlemn]

He very likely still wins, but it appears very unlikely that he'll match his polling average and expectations.

[Mehmentum]

Gillespie is down to 54% vs. Warner's 44%.

[Obama-Biden Democrat]

Warner is getting a Obamaesque margin in Fairfax.

Fake Virginia beats real Virginia every time.

[IceSpear]

Warner will win, but his prospects for being Hillary's VP took a major hit tonight.

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

Warner will win, but his prospects for being Hillary's VP took a major hit tonight.

Good.  Hillary is enough of moderate for that ticket.  We need Sanders or Warren.

Brown and Tillis are being taken to the woodshed.

[President von Cat]

OMG RELAX PEOPLE.

Obama was way down in Virginia at first too...

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Just 2 1/2 hours until the inevitable "OMG Republicans are doing great in California and turnout is so low" while millions of Democratic votes are uncounted.

[King]

Doesn't the country side in Virginia always report before the cities? I feel like we get this story every time Virginia has an election.

[Maxwell]

To be fair, it's not really Warner's fault. He fought Gillespie hard all cycle. This could've been a Martha Coakley situation.
