It’s not. McCain/Palin comfortably win VA.
Virginia would not even be an issue without Mark Warner. My only worry is that Mark Warner will win 60 percent of the vote...now the problem with that is that people are going to have to vote McCain and then Warner...how many people are going to do that?????? That is a huge worry for virginia. I think Virginia Senate Seat will be the first call of the eveing to Warner. The first in 2006 was the Nelson-Harris race which was done so early, FREEPERS were stunned that it was called even before polls closed but the spread was so wide that Harris could never make it even with 100 percent of the votes that were left to count.
I’m afraid Warner will win too. But all that means is that McCain won’t have coat tails. McCAin will earn a few extra votes for Gilmore but Warner will not do anything for Obama.
If they're able to cross over when polled, I'm quite certain they can manage to cross over with the voting machines.
I can help you there: A whole lot of people. From my canvassing efforts over the weekend, I've never seen so many ticket-splitters. I don't know what they see in this Warner (maybe some truly are confusing him for John, but I doubt it, these are astute voters). McCain takes the Old Dominion, but unfortunately we lose a senate seat.
