From Hotline: Bad news for Kilgore. Two Richmond precincts that went to Bush in '04 -- one in the affluent western part of the city and one in the more middle-class south side -- are delivering their votes for their former mayor, Kaine. The first went to Bush 779-540 last year and this year has gone to Kaine 559-403. The second went to Bush 1152-1028 and this year has gone to Kaine 1015-728.
actually he is behind a bit. 36% reported now.
Yep. I think I saw the figure that there are 45 independent cities.
Agree, but Arlington is worrisome - large, liberal population as is most of Northern Virginia.

It doesn't matter what happens it would still be reported as bad for Bush. If the Dems retain this seat - bad for Bush. If the GOP wins, it is bad for Bush because it shows "anti-incumbent sentiment."
Yep. Might as well move on to the NJ race now.
The big question mark there is the number. I think anything less than 70% YES on the gay marriage ban would be a defeat IMO, after all it is a conservative stronghold...
Drudge has the numbers exactly backwards from what the VA site is reporting.
Drudge: REPUBLICAN LEADS IN VA GOV RACE... KILGORE [R] 52.59% KAINE [D] 45.29% [37% REPORTING]
VA: Candidates Party Vote Totals Percentage
T M Kaine Democratic 374,850 52.59%
J W Kilgore Republican 322,832 45.29%
Are these exit polls or real numbers? I say ignore the exit polls.
I just tried watching KNBC's 5:00 newscast. The bias on that station is so freakin' thick. They are delusional if they think it isn't obvious.

Newest from SBE, still not good
Can Freepers cope with the fact that the polls are accurate and the people are kicking the GOP squarely in the ballz tonight?
