With a piddly ~ 1,500 votes in, Romney is up 70-29
Chesterfield is a good one to look at as it is a large county. 30% in, McCain won 53-46, Romney up 56-43. Going to be tight.

I AM REALLY DAMN NERVOUS ABOUT VIRGINIA, OHIO, AND MY HOME FLORIDA!!!!!!!

Morris reporting that VA exit polls show Romney with an 11 pt. lead with Independents and that Obama is only winning women by 5 pts.
My vote will be there. I am in a rural county but close enough to DC to be somewhat liberal-infected plus 25% snowed by the media. Turnout was stronger than 08. The peoples came out from voting and headed to their cars or to the Republican booth. The two old Dems were alone although I went over to ask a couple questions. We will contribute a lot of votes, hopefully 2 to 1 ratio.
Keep in mind the red, rural counties usually come in first. The people’s republic for fairfax county will usually be about last.
Alexandria voting took 1 hr 45 min. A lot of people.
first thread of the night i was looking for...here’s the CNN interactive map for Virginia, broken by county- its pretty good...maybe some Freepers from the area could tell us what to look for...understand the north blue and sout red but what percentages do we need for Romney to carry the state??

I’m a Doctor of Punditry. My professional opinion is that you should drink heavily.
Looks like nationally Dems top turnout is 39%=loss. That means all the D+1 million polls were WRONG.
And this: @ali Pew, Ras, and Gallup (according to their own data) all think the Exit Polls are heavily weighted D. Those firms showed ties. Dem TROUBLE!

I would add that Virgil Goode will get close to 1 percent of the VA vote. That might be enough to sink Romney, it will be that close, but I hope not.
From SW Virginia, Floyd County area (they ousted Dem Boucher in ‘10)—heard from a friend that said polling was heavier in that conservative area than he had ever seen it.
Virginia SBE pauses reporting of results until 8pm because of long lines still at polls.....breaking news on llocal TV
What was Dem turnout in 2008?
Did you see this:
CNN says Ohio exit polls 51 - 48 Obama.
Also says Ohio electorate was 38 D, 31 R, 31 I for a D+7.
Am hoping their polls are skewed and that Republicans did considerably better than -7 in Ohio.
If not, the election ends early tonight because they smoked us where it counted most.

No surprise. Long lines ALL DAY in tidewater. Huge turnout. Not necessarily good for our side, but interesting to note.
