Dont get upset about Virginia tonight. It will appear bad

[mgcgulfcoast]

virginia always reports the idiot votes first so it will look like dumbinelli will win. In the end we will win by +15

[hrmjustin]

1. Yeah the rural votes come in first always in VA.

[leftynyc]

2. I don't think it will be that high

I expect Democrats to win but by closer to 5-7%. I also expect to win the LT governor race....it's the AG race that looks verrrrry close.

[mgcgulfcoast]

3. too pessimisstic.

[DFW]

4. I hope you're right

But I fear NYC is closer to the real end result. By this time tomorrow, we'll all be a lot wiser.

12. No way it's a double digit win

Unless Sarvis can get 7 percent or more

[TroyD]

14. Cuccinelli ahead 51-41 with 21% of the vote in

But most of Northern VA is still out, so presumably that will change over the next hour.

5. Yeah, i remember that during the presidential race last year

Early in the evening, Romney was leading VA by good margin...But as night went on, Obama got closer and closer and eventually passed him....Romney was doomed when VA was NOT called for him early...

6. Good point. It happens that way in many states.

Our voters are more heavily concentrated.

[Arkana]

7. We're well familiar with Virginia's odd brand of county reporting.

NoVa always hits last and hardest.

[North Carolina Knigh]

8. Interesting

Being reported in the Charlotte area that a major Obama supported propped up the libertarian candidate in Virginia. If so, very smart.

9. I'm watching MSNBC

and can't help thinking these are the guys that really know what's going on. They don't call things until they're 99.9% sure but they know and those exit polls look good for McCauliff. The women are going to carry this one across the finish line. Exit poll showed of those who voted who believed abortion should be legal in most or all cases was 61%. That's very high for a state like VA. You know they didn't vote for the Cooch. I'm cautiously optimistic.

10. Will C-Span Be Covering The Election Results?

ive been flipping through the channels and have found no real coverage of the election in Virgina or New Jersey? Also are there any other races I should be watching for?

[a kennedy]

17. MSNBC is covering it......

not faux noise though, still bashing ACA as usual.

[TroyD]

11. Virginia Governor

You are right that in the early returns, Cuccinelli is ahead.

McAuliffe will likely pull ahead once Northern Virginia comes in, which hasn't come in yet.

It was the same pattern in the Presidential Race a year ago.

[mgcgulfcoast]

13. its over

big win for us.

[Agschmid]

15. Fingers crossed!

[a kennedy]

16. OMGosh, I had to come on DU to find this topic again.....it DOES look bad right now....

but as you suggest, I won't get upset until every last vote is counted alright? and thanks for this little ditty it makes me feel better.

[TroyD]

18. UPDATED CNN EXIT POLL shows McAuliffe with tighter lead

UPDATED CNN EXIT POLL

McAuliffe (D) 47%

Cuccinelli (R) 45%

Sarvis (I) 7%

[RBInMaine]

19. CNN is CORPORATE SHIT. Don't believe that SHITTY, SHITTY PROPAGANDA SHIT !

[reflection]

20. down to half a percentage point now.

[BlueDemKev]

21. You forgot the decimal point.

More like +1.5

We didn't win tonight, we survived. Too many Democrats in Virginia didn't bother to vote. Until we correct that problem, we will continue to lose elections.

[Beacool]

22. I was nervous until the MSM called it for McAuliffe.

It was a nail biter.




But now I'm.........
