So whats going on in Virginia?
Where is this "Commie-country" everyone was talking about? This one looks like itll be a close one if Obama pulls it out. Or...too early to count yet? 40% in and he is down 8.5 points.

1. No worries.
I thought we'd win it. But, maybe not. We will win anyway. We are not dependent on VA. Let's see what happens there.

10. NoVA not in yet
Fairfax County is just reporting 11%, Loudoun is at 14%, and Arlington has no return whatsoever.

5. The polls were wrong
Virginia is still largely fundyville, and Northern Virginia hasn't carried the day as predicted.

15. That's what was said.
and, having family there and spent time throughout the state, I reckoned the polls were WAY off.

Lots of military and fundies, plus more Republican government workers in the North than people gave credit for.

Think Washington State without Seattle and Bellingham.

14. How can VA go for Obama when they shut all the machines down earlier? Vote suppression
equates to election theft and it was rampant in VA today.

16. What's going on in Texas?
The polls are closed. The exit polls didn't tell them it was a lock for McCain?
