The little TeaPuke rural areas come in first. The blue urban areas later. RELAX. RBInMaine Nov 2013 #2

The areas in the state with the major universities usually voted for Mac. alp227 Nov 2013 #40

Only the rural counties have reported so far. Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin Nov 2013 #3

It's the early returns from the low-population, rural southern part of the state. Arugula Latte Nov 2013 #4

Early numbers are crap. Wait an hour or so. nt onehandle Nov 2013 #5

It was reported on another thread that rural areas report first. Takes longer to count the bigger.. Tarheel_Dem Nov 2013 #6

This is a race where we should've run a hardcore progressive. NuclearDem Nov 2013 #20

Why? Because Tim Kaine & Mark Warner were so uber-"progressive"? Tarheel_Dem Nov 2013 #23

What is a "hardcore progressive". What comes to mind to me is Dennis Kucinich. Now do you really lostincalifornia Nov 2013 #24

This was essentially a given for the Democrat in this race. NuclearDem Nov 2013 #27

I respectfully disagree, especially when we are dealing with southern states, nothing is a given lostincalifornia Nov 2013 #28

Fair enough. It is a southern state, but I still stand by my thought NuclearDem Nov 2013 #29

Obviously, I think it would be great if your theory is right, but the other problem is the lostincalifornia Nov 2013 #33

I live in VA (maybe you do too) and IMHO there is NO way that a progressive spooky3 Nov 2013 #30

Actually, I am getting very concerned now, and this looks like it is going down to the line lostincalifornia Nov 2013 #41

it could--but the big purple and blue counties tend to report results later than spooky3 Nov 2013 #43

Definitely not, and I really think we will pull this out, but it will be thanks to the women lostincalifornia Nov 2013 #47

Also, blue Portsmouth (in the Tidewater area) has reported only 1 of 32 precincts. spooky3 Nov 2013 #53

I think McAuliffe will win by a decent margin. The AG race should be tight--hopefully we will StevieM Nov 2013 #65

I agree with you. spooky3 Nov 2013 #70

88% of the vote, and .2% difference, that is not what I call decent margin. Hopefully, the 12% will lostincalifornia Nov 2013 #76

I see what you are saying, but many Democratic areas really do come in late, so the margin should StevieM Nov 2013 #83

Great about the Lt. governor. Beacool Nov 2013 #37

yes, to an extent spooky3 Nov 2013 #39

Anyone who's worried should go to the election link posted above-- spooky3 Nov 2013 #50

I remember when Jim Webb won in that sqeaker, at the end of the evening. NCarolinawoman Nov 2013 #46

Well, let's just hope that history repeats itself. Beacool Nov 2013 #49

I don't think so. Northern Virginia comes in last and I think McAuliffe will win comfortably StevieM Nov 2013 #60

OK, I'm sure that you are correct. Beacool Nov 2013 #63

MSNBC caused confusion by using 2 different sets of data that weren't clearly labeled pinboy3niner Nov 2013 #44
