I'm hopeful, but this is a REALLY early tally.

[Luke Skyfreeper]

Why does CNN claim Webb is leading????!!!

[Pete]

I have no idea why CNN has Webb leading. Go here and see for yourself.

NC 11 ain't looking too good right now.

[CaptainK]

Because they want him to win.

[padre35]

51 to 49 in NC 11.

Taylor was dull, shuler was worse.

It's tight...

[TheRedSoxWinThePennant]

My chin is up. I am waiting for this tidal wave of Dems. Yes santorum and dewine losig suck. yet Santorum is in a heavily democratic state. Dewine although not a personal favorite was caught up in a year when Ohio is very anti republican

A steele and Allen win would make me feel pretty good right now.

[BLS]

And I just heard that Talent has a strong early lead over the communist he is running against.

[Minus_The_Bear]

Also because he may be winning... a lot of N. VA numbers are coming in.

[Argus]

Look at that - if you put the Green candidate's votes in Webb's column, he'd be winning.

Thank The Goddess for the Green Party LOL.

[Radio_Silence]

I had Econ 201 with Shuler back in '93 at UT. He sat next to me - complete idiot. At least it seemed that way from the few times he showed up.

Can't believe the people of NC are going to elect this guy.

[Hendrix]

Econ 201 is the perfect class to determine whether a person is an idiot, and it is probably why he is a democrat. Democrats don't understand economics.

[Intolerant in NJ]

Fox calls MD for Cardin although the count shows Steele with 55% to Cardin's 44% - sad if it turns out that way.....

[Gondring]

Why does CNN claim Webb is leading????!!!

This can happen if Allen isn't doing as well as he should in R-friendly precincts...that is, if Dem precincts have yet to come in, then he might not have enough of a lead to hold off what's anticipated.

And we all know there's that "Okay, so how many Dem votes to we have to manufacture?" problem in the late-reporting urban precincts...

[eyespysomething]

The only thing about the Collins-Marshall race, I haven't seen totals from Bibb County, which will probably go to Marshall (D). I am saying probably though. but it does look as burns will beat Barrow.
