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

But clearly not as good as the WA GOP does it.

No.  I don't think Obama has ever outdone exit poll results.

Would be nice...but I doubt it.

Any word on Democcrats Abroad?

[Gabu]

With 10% reporting, Obama leads 60-39, up from 57% a little while ago.

Alcon, get my accolades ready when my prediction that Obama goes up as the night goes on comes true.

(kidding, kidding)

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.

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.

Probably the most glorious results watch ever. Except maybe Edwards vs. Clinton in Iowa.

Heck yeah, I was there and I remember it very well.

2006 had a number of awesome race watches: Virginia, Missouri, Montana to a degree.

[exopolitician]

Maryland exit polls:

55% white
37% black

54% Protestant
22% Catholic
3% jewish

Union household:
27% yes
73% no

Change 58%
experience 22%
electability 10%
cares about "me" 8%

voting has been extended due to bad weather in Maryland as well.

[Lief 🗽]

Voting in Maryland has been extended to 9:30 eastern.

[Alcon]

Looking good for Obama so far.

Still waiting for more solid information out of NoVA, though.  Contrary to CNN Fauquier County is not really a good tracker.

[Verily]

The Virginia government is awesomely fast at posting results. 23% in already; Obama leads 61-38.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

My biggest race watch in 2006 was the MN-01 House race. You should've seen how the room exploded when that one was called.

WHAT

NO

That means I'll be at an evening class when polls close.

[Lief 🗽]

I also means I can't go to bed early.

Alexandria City is 63% in, 66% for Obama. Fairfax County is nearly all in, 56% for Obama. Nothing from Arlington or Loudoun or Prince William or Fairfax City or Manassas City or Manassas Park City.

Edit: Left out Falls Church City. Nothing there, either.

I dont think this extends into DC....so atleast we'll have another result at 8 to keep us company during the wait.

btw yay at 1000th post

[Alcon]

62-37 is looking about right, maybe a bit closer

I know...but DC polls are still closing at 8pm. Unless I missed a statement stating otherwise.
