Official VA reports from Isle of Wright County:
Allen 6,984 Webb 5,050 92% of precincts http://sbe.virginiainteractive.org/nov2006/l_02.htm
CNN Numbers: Allen 6,984 Webb 9050 92% of precincts http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2006//pages/results/states/VA/S/01/county.002.html
One of these numbers is wrong. And its a typo
Its CNN, of course.
I have been noticing for 30-45 minutes or so that the CNN and network feeds have Webb ahead by 2500 but the Commonwealth of Virginia own website has ALLEN ahead by about the same margin.
Right now I dont know what to believe, except that the way our luck is going the G-D CNN site is probably right.
The Virginia website doesn't show Webb ahead yet:

It must be CNN's error.

Virginia's website just put Webb on top
Either the official VA site has a typo or CNN has a typo. This is the reason for the difference.
Personally, I trust the official VA site.
Get the word out!
ISLE OF WIGHT COUNTY - details 7,372 87.36% 469 5.56% 558 6.61% 40 0.47% 8,439 14 of 14 100.00%
the state website shows 52% of registered voters voting with Allen over Webb 6984 to 5050. If CNN is correct, then they had unbelievable turnout (like 70%).
If you look at the Isle of Wight numbers for the OTHER ballot questions, like the marriage amendment for example, it seems the CNN number is the one that is the typo - there are only 12-13,000 votes total in the county, not the higher number in the erroneous CNN count.
J H Webb Jr Democratic 1,148,750 49.44%

it does now
CNN is not Kosher..........
Even when the CNN mistake on the 4,000 votes is corrected, Michael Barone just noted that the remaining 20 precincts not yet counted in the official state results are in mostly black districts, and so that 2,000 vote lead may close when the final precincts are included, even in the 100% official Virginia results.
Time for a freeping.
Still showing:

CNN is not only not kosher, its a product touched by many unclean left hands (post wiping)
