LIVE THREAD: ELECTIONS 2006

[Dog]

Please Mods can we have one central Live thread ...its tough jumping from thread to thread to get results.

"The terrorists see this as a victory as well."

They sure do. BIG Time!

[Jrabbit]

Nope. Says voting will continue...

[windchime]

Saying still counting. No concession yet.....
Counting will continue through the night & tomorrow.

[mockingbyrd]

I don't know, he says one thing as the music begins then says it hasn't officially been called. And that it is too early for Allen to concede.

[jveritas]

Agree 100%.

[roostercogburn]

What in the hell is wrong with the blacks in America?
How the hell could they be so stupid? Anyone who receives ANY government aid for housing or food should LOSE their voting rights until they can support themselves.

[Jezebelle]

Steele is ahead by 40k votes, but there's nothing in for Allegheny, Anne Arundel, or Baltimore yet.

[Howlin]

Amen.

[vamoose]

Sadly, Allen is done for. Down 1800 with 18 precints left, including some big-margin Webb precincts:

1 Arlington
1 Fairfax county
1 Fairfax City
1 Halifax
1 Isle of Woght
2 James City
3 Loudoun
3 Prince Wm.
4 Richmond
1 Va. Beach

Michael Barone also said most, 90+%, absentee ballots are included in the precinct totals. drat!!

I am officially boycotting CNN and MSNBC because of their biased help for the DNC this last six weeks...

[pnz1]

Thanks

[nitejohnboy]

CNN will supply the music.

[oceanview]

Allen speaking now, not conceding.

but it does not look good, and I am sure there was Dem fraud in the last votes pushed through, giving Webb the lead right at the end.

Allen says the networks have transposed votes and that he's ahead by 5000 - 6000 votes.

[NittanyLion]

There's a difference between realizing polls aren't perfectly accurate, and proclaiming them all worthless all the time (particularly only doing so when they don't tell you what you want to hear.) If anything positive comes out of tonight, maybe it will be people learning how to objectively analyze and predict outcomes while distancing themselves from simply always seeing what they hope to see.

Yep - well stated. While this site can be a powerful force for good, it can also at times become an echo chamber. That's clearly what happened in the weeks leading up to this election; we refused to see the data that was presented to us.

[KsSunflower]

Will do!...Virginia...Allen says numbers have been transposed and he is actually ahead. Maybe Talent won't be that big of a deal. AARGH!!

[mockingbyrd]

I heard it too, but they backed off it and said it wasn't official.

[Luke21]

Don't you remember what the Dems and the media did to Nixon? These media people are professional brainwashers. If the people could think for themselves without media pacifiers, you think they would have done this?

[LikeLight]

Allen Campaign: MSM totals transposed.

[cardinal4]

Fox radio called MO for Talent? The Official page is updating..
