Well, Fluff the Magic Negro won with <1%, so why not.

It's a nice thought, but I won't believe it until I see HIllary like this...

You’d think the rural counties would be reporting later and beef up the Huckester score.

[SE Mom]

We’d like that...but he hasn’t campaigned for 2 days. What is he thinking? (rhetorical)

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

Whoa, that is one weird photo!

Well, OK but I guess I've missed his wit. I am familiar with his lack of control and anger though. (i.e., His response to Bush's dirty tricks in SC and various other episodes)

In any event, looks like we'll get our chance to see it all too soon. Regards

Fox just called it for McStain.

It’s like Code Pink boot camp!

[abishai]

Its still REALLY close. Not that I care who wins, I don’t like either. It just seems odd.

[Signalman]

What I want to see is Obama winning the popular vote (and delegates) but Hildabeast being “selected” by the super-delegates. Now that’s going to be popcorn time.

[pollywog]

If McCain goes in as the Republican Candidate, we will need to come up with a third party!
Duncan?? How about it???

[bluebeak]

not too impessive considering huckabee has been totally written off by the media.

[SE Mom]

Classy fellow, that Ed Rendell.

[RatsDawg]

Well folks, it looks like its over, and McCain will be the nominee.

Goodbye GOP.

[atomicweeder]

I don’t completely trust the VA web site right now. It shows 0 votes for Clinton in Chesterfield County, and over 12,000 for Obama.

I know it’s a heavily black county, but ZERO?

[Red_Devil 232]

Rural counties = less people = faster vote counting = in first.

[tsowellfan]

People need to be fired at the GOP Headquarters.

While the dems have been running against the republicans on their site http://www.democrats.org the GOP does NOTHING not even in the race http://www.gop.com

[CharlesWayneCT]

I know it was rhetorical, but I think he stopped campaigning to make it look like the race is over. If he wins all the contests tonight, it lends credence to the story that the race is over, he’s not even campaigning and he’s winning.

If by chance he had lost Virginia, people would say he was stupid for not campaigning, but it would explain his loss.

This gives you all the counties on page -- for dems -- click at link on the page for GOP. I find it better to use the CD's first, myself, but suum cuique.
