1. Perfect!

I hope this is an omen.

2. Very encouraging for other races in his state.

3. Confused?

How can you call a race with 1% counted? Even if 100% of those ballots are cast for Kaine there are still 99% of the rest of the ballots to go through.

Can someone explain?

5. We know how certains areas vote. If Stewart can't win GOP

Strongholds, there is no way he can win.

4. VA-10 looking good as well.

6. I can't remember in my 53 years.

When a Virginia Senate race has been called this early. Astounding. 15 years ago that was a red state.

Hope it foreshadows a good night.

8. LOL. A sad day for the displaced Minnesota Confederacy!

9. It was one of the Confederacy's most closely guarded secrets, the CSA regiment known only as

the Fightin' Minnesotans.

i assume people have to put up a shitload of statues of Corey Stewart on a rearing horse now

Over the next 50 years, Corey Stewart supporters will doggedly build a narrative that he was only defeated by Tim Kaine's Northern industrial machine, that he fought for Virginian rights, and that Trumpism was a benign institution

10. Haw! n/t

11. A blatant white supremacist can still get over 40% in VA, become governor in FL, etc.

Or, you know, get 62 million votes for president.
