Also of note: according to this exit poll, Obama won Catholics 50-49.

Wow.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

So. How much of a difference between the final results and the exit poll will there be?

Other than Massachusetts, I can't think of any other state where the final results were that much different than the exit poll.

[TheresNoMoney]

What the hell is with Chris Matthews wanting Tim Kaine to do Virginia accents for him?

In case you haven't noticed the last few years, Chris Matthews is a bigtime weirdo.

Virginia has "form" for this sort of thing. Wouldn't have asked if it didn't (and I wish that it didn't).

Probably an easier question to answer when we have more results than 1/11th of Prince Edward County. 

[Keystone Phil]

Haha, CNN cuts off reporting from Hillary event because they're singing the national anthem. CNN America!

Wow.

Virginia's Catholics are largely concentrated in DCsprawlburbia.

[Gabu]

Oh noes, Clinton takes the lead!

It's all over for Obama.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Haha, CNN cuts off reporting from Hillary event because they're singing the national anthem. CNN America!

I liked that.  Of course, as Wolf always does, he talks too long and the song was almost done before he was done talking.

Eh, yeah, so maybe it's not too surprising.

Exactly.

3% reporting

Obama - 57%

Hillary - 42%

[Joe Biden 2020]

Wow.  They've already given Obama 14 of the 83 delegates.  Clinton has 7.  There's less than 2% reporting.

This gives Hillary a 5 delegate lead.

Given Obama's propensity to go up as the night goes on, this does not look like Clinton will be having a good night in Virginia.

[Alcon]

It's really too early to say "Obama is going to keep going up."  The counties reporting so far are just random, and none of them have reported significantly.

Bit early to say that, but nothing from Arlington, Alexandria, Norfolk, Richmond, etc. yet.

I'll stay on CNN.com as I don't want to have three browsers or tabs open for three separate states.

Yeah, I suppose, but that still is nonetheless the general trend: Clinton is at her best at the start and then as big cities come in she goes down as the night wears on.

In Virginia elections, the conservative rural areas always come in before the more democratic cities and NOVA because they have fewer ppl. Remember Allen vs Webb in 2006: Allen led for most of the night until the cities came in for Webb, allowing him to win narrowly.

[exopolitician]

4% in Obama 64% to 35% Clinton

This has more up-to-date results, straight from the Virginia government.
