A large portion of the outstanding votes are in Richmond (City), which leans heavily toward Webb.

MACACA!

11/7/2006 11:49:44 PM

I say the tiebreaker should be Ace Custis. Whoever he chooses should win.

11/7/2006 11:54:41 PM

this... this is the best idea i've heard tonight

[Edited on November 7, 2006 at 11:57 PM. Reason : and richmond just reported, webb now with slight lead overall]

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 12:01 AM. Reason : cnn may not project tonight because it's so close]

11/7/2006 11:56:23 PM

counties with outstanding precincts that lean webb:
arlington, charlottesville (city), richmond (city), fairfax, fairfax (city), isle of wight, loudon

counties with outstanding precincts that lean allen:
glouster, harrisonburg (city), prince edward, virginia beach (city), waynesboro (city)

still looks like webb

11/8/2006 12:05:48 AM

VB will go Allen

11/8/2006 12:07:38 AM

arlington, fairfax, richmond, and charlottesville are the most populated of those areas, correct?

WHO DID VICK VOTE FOR???

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 12:08 AM. Reason : .]

11/8/2006 12:07:57 AM

VB is the biggest city

11/8/2006 12:09:13 AM

VB largest by itself

the others could gang up on it though

11/8/2006 12:10:22 AM

fairfax county >>>>>>>>>>>>>> vb

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 12:10 AM. Reason : by double]

11/8/2006 12:10:23 AM

county = gang

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 12:13 AM. Reason : dammit election night...i need to sleep]

11/8/2006 12:12:16 AM

county != gang

counties don't include the independent cities in va (richmond, fairfax, harrisonburg, charlottesville, etc)

2005 census numbers (total population, NOT registered voters or votes cast)
fairfax 1,006,529
virginia beach (city) 438,415
loudon 255,518
arlington 195,965
richmond (city) 193,777
harrisonburg (city) 40,438
charlottesville (city) 40,437
gloucester 37,787
isle of wight 33,417
fairfax (city) 21,963
prince edward 20,455
waynesboro (city) 21,269

100% in and webb has +3000. recount it if you want.

++1 to the dems

11/8/2006 12:21:44 AM

holy shit that is close

11/8/2006 12:22:34 AM

3000

Yeah, they'll recount it

11/8/2006 12:23:26 AM

i heard something about voting scandal in VA on the way home from work

haven't heard anything else about it since

11/8/2006 12:25:00 AM

according to republicans in 2000 only pussies and sore losers request a recount

11/8/2006 12:25:11 AM

Democrats will get Montana and Missouri, plus Virginia.

51/49.

And they aren't going to turn over 2000-3000 votes in a recount.

11/8/2006 12:28:34 AM

there are still webb-leaning counties yet to report going by cnn's data

11/8/2006 12:29:48 AM

aha

AP numbers different from some other numbers

11/8/2006 12:30:12 AM

well, fox news just said 100% with approximately 2400 on webb's side. I doubt they'd lead their viewers on.

11/8/2006 12:30:19 AM

i guess it is expected that they all have slightly different info

11/8/2006 12:31:23 AM

Republicans just picked up its last Senator (TN).

11/8/2006 12:32:06 AM

11/8/2006 12:32:16 AM

^^Why do you think that Missouri will go to the Dems? CNN has Talent in the lead.

11/8/2006 12:33:56 AM

how can the counts for va be exactly the same on cnn and fox, but one says 99% and the other says 100%

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 12:35 AM. Reason : ^ yeah a big chunk of talent votes just hit the board]

11/8/2006 12:34:50 AM

^^There are a lot of urban areas that are part of the 30% uncounted. Urban areas = concentrated and with minorities. Fox news has pretty much conceded missouri.

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 12:36 AM. Reason : .]

11/8/2006 12:35:51 AM

whats the deal with montana

11/8/2006 12:36:24 AM

montana would be the biggest shocker for #51. nobody really knows anything about what'll happen, but montana will be interesting.

11/8/2006 12:38:37 AM

so at 50/50 cheney suddenly gets busy

11/8/2006 12:39:48 AM

It would be 50/49/1, methinks

11/8/2006 12:40:47 AM

hmm

CNN says Dems need 4 seats to take control of senate

then CNN says Rep wins Tennessee

now CNN says Dems need 3 seats to take control of senate

do I need to just stay away from politics?

11/8/2006 12:42:04 AM

^^ oh come on

lieberman is a D

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 12:42 AM. Reason : d]

11/8/2006 12:42:21 AM

allen is being a sore loser

just because you lost by a small margin doesn't mean you're any less of a loser

11/8/2006 12:42:33 AM

SHEP JUST USED "STRATEGERY"

11/8/2006 12:43:07 AM

No, it doesn't work that way.

Lieberman doesn't even count as a DINO anymore now that his own party rejected him in the primaries.

11/8/2006 12:43:29 AM

Lieberman told his constituents that he would vote with the Democratic caucus. Are you calling him a liar?

11/8/2006 12:44:13 AM

^^ sorry, you are wrong

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 12:44 AM. Reason : c]

11/8/2006 12:44:14 AM

I'm saying that he is registered as an independent, so there would be no need for Cheney to break a tie if the Republicans only get 50 seats.

They would still be considered the majority.

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 12:46 AM. Reason : 2]

11/8/2006 12:45:36 AM

what do you not understand?

lieberman is a democrat, he will vote with the democrats

the republicans have the majority at 50/50 because the VP is a republican

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 12:47 AM. Reason : s]

11/8/2006 12:46:25 AM

Are we forgetting Saunders (I) up in Vermont?

11/8/2006 12:49:24 AM

Do you mean Jim Jeffords?

11/8/2006 12:51:20 AM

Sanders is an independent, but caucuses with the Democrats and is counted as a Democrat for the purposes of committee assignments.

11/8/2006 12:52:18 AM

actually i mean Bernie Sanders, my bad

11/8/2006 12:52:23 AM

sanders votes with the dems

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 12:53 AM. Reason : m]

11/8/2006 12:53:34 AM

Montana and Virginia to Dems, Mizz stays Rep, split 50/50 with VP giving it to the Reps

at least thats how I see it

11/8/2006 12:53:42 AM

Sanders is a self admitted socialist

I'm guessing he's no friend of Republicans

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 1:02 AM. Reason : ]

11/8/2006 12:56:00 AM

OIC, Vermont is replacing one democrat "independent" with another.

Yeah, Cheney would have to break the tie on procedural matters.

n/m what I posted above.

11/8/2006 12:56:20 AM

days? weeks? months? hanging chads?
