I'm passing these two observations from liberal Virginia bloggers on to readers, but they're so out of line with expectations, I have a hard time buying them.
First, from Not Larry Sabato, about the Virginia delegate races: "SIX SEATS ARE GONE — ANOTHER NINE ARE IN PLAY FOR GOP PICKUP." Yesterday I predicted a GOP gain of six seats; I think most Virginia Republicans saw picking up 11 as their best-case scenario.
Then, from Blue Virginia:
I'm a bit skeptical of this, so take it with as big a grain of salt as you'd like, but it's from an excellent source. They got exit poll results from a precinct in Arlington that went 60%+ for Kaine in '05. With around 250 voters sampled over a 5-hour period this morning, McDonnell is up 22 points on Creigh Deeds. WTF? I mean, if that's even CLOSE to being true, it's horrible. Also, even if it gets better through the day, we're talking about possible margins in Arlington of less than 60% possible for Deeds. For comparison purposes, Tim Kaine got 74% of the vote in Arlington in 2005.
Are these two trying to motivate lethargic Democrats? Or is there really evidence of a building Republican wave in northern Virginia?
Rumor mill ping.
Maybe Virgina will save us from Obamacare.
Please be true.
I don’t think Massachusetts Senatorial contest in January is a gimme for the RATS either.
Best news I’ve heard all day.
This is a done deal, it’s New Jersey baby!
Buyers Remorse is a bitch.... Enjoy the trashing Pelosi/Reid and Fauxbama.. And Blue Dogs, hope you enjoyed being led over that cliff. Idiots.
We’ll know in a short time, but make sure we vote. Let’s just wait and see.
I hope people understand that electing Barbara Comstock means she will be in Congress before 2012 in the 10th CD. Outrageous!
I’m not sure about other areas, but the turnout at my precinct was down, and that is very good for the Rs.
If Dems lose Kennedy’s seat to a Republican in MA, then 2010 will indeed be the absolute bloodbath I have said it will be.
2010 is going to make 1994 look like a good day for democrats.
Liberal Republicans are DOA, they will not survive their primaries, and Democrats that are not from the bluest of blue districts are going to get crushed.

Drill, Bobby, Drill!
I just sent my Democrat congress critter this message:
The passage of the Reid-Pelosi bills to take over health care will be the death of the Democrat party.
Please vote for it.
Think about it
I think we may indeed be seeing a larger win that expected. At the same time, I DO NOT. Repeat DO NOT trust either Not Larry Sabato OR Blue Virginia (formerly Raising Kaine).
These two are major shysters and were the principle editors of the macaca video (and the accompanying Wikipedia page). They can be very good at their analysis.
But if either of them told me the sun was shining, I’d go outside to check.
Libs will never learn to never trust exit polls. Idiots.
I think many clueless moderates who voted for the well-spoken young black fellow are not pleased with our new Marxist government.
