Kilgore has this one in the bag. It's over!

Are you being sarcastic or serious?  Ive been out of the loop all day so I have no idea whats going on with turnout and sh**t.

Scoonie's acting "strange," to say the least. Just ignore him.

Thanks jfern and Boss Tweed. 

I'm in Fairfax county...haven't heard any results for here yet, and I don't know the political landscape well enough to predict which way it'll go. Kilgore would be my best guess, though.

Fairfax Co. will vote for Kaine as will Arlington County.

J-Mann

Fairfax County with 73% reporting

T M Kaine  Democratic 113,320 60.26%
  J W Kilgore  Republican 71,205 37.86%
  H R Potts Jr  Independent 3,382 1.80%


Fairfax City with 0% reporting

J W Kilgore  Republican 0 0.00%
  T M Kaine  Democratic 0 0.00%
  H R Potts Jr  Independent 0 0.00%

The fact that Fairfax County is almost done is good for Kilgore.
The fact that Fairfax City hasn't started counting is good for Kaine.

Maybe Va Beach?

I noticed before that Henrico had only reported 15%. I would think that would be a strong point for Kilgore when it comes in, right?

EDIT: For those who don't know, Henrico is Richmond suburbia.

Henrico went for Warner in 2001

You are right, I guess I was basing it off Bush's performance in 04 (won by 8%)

After taking a quick look at the county-by-county results it appears SW VA has already reported for the most part.

Poor New Jersey.

[MHS2002]

If Bolling wins and McDonnell holds on, then the Republicans pick up an office in VA.

There's your spin for you

Spin it baby, spin it.

Nick,

That's spin? New Jersey is a staunch Democratic state and Virginia is a close Republican state that is coming off a tremendous 4-year run by one of the most popular and effective Democratic Governors in recent memory. Where is it at ALL surprising that the Dems would win both of these races???

The real SPIN has come in the past few weeks as the mainstream media has made these races into so-called "proxy battles" between Bush and the Democratic Party.

I wasnt pointing you out in particular.  I just find it funny that when Democrats celebrate two solid victories you and others point out how desperate we are.  Let us celebrate, it was a good night for us.  And if we win big CA, it will have been a great night.

That's a fair point Nick. My point though is that many Democrats are turning the Virginia election into a referendum on Bush, and that's just ridiculous.

I don't think VA was a referendum on Bush, as much as a combination of a referendum on Warner and a less than spectacular candidate in Kilgore.

[MHS2002]

Um, could someone point me to results for these races. I don't feel like paging through what looks like a 28 page bitchfest.

VA: Kaine wins, Lt. Gov: Bolling (R), slightly up, AG: too close to call
NJ: Corzine declared winner

[MHS2002]

Bolling (R) declared Lt. Gov. winner in VA

[MHS2002]

were the state legislatures up for election in nj and va?

if so, how did they turn out?

House of Delegates up in VA, not sure what the final totals will be.

[MHS2002]

Scratch my last statement, it is Creigh Deeds who now has a 1,435 vote lead in the Virginia Attorney General race.

Of the 23 precincts remaining, 22 are in counties/cities where McDonnell is currently leading. Should be a very interesting and close race.
