That's one change in Virginia we can count on: urban and suburban areas have turned more Dem compared to last election. So the media will be able to compare the early raw returns to last year's and excusably predict an Obama win (Kaine's party can be expected to facilitate this- they've probably already set up the districts they want to report returns first to do so) .
But what will actually happen here I don't think anyone knows- there are just too many new variables.
I believe a Navy fighter pilot hero will still win this state against a yankee no-body.
I seriously expect the mainstream media to inflame race and riots should it appear Obama was losing. They will scream, cry and shout and start telling Obama what he needs to do!!
They have been carrying on this fantasy that Bush stole the election in 2000. Consider how they incited racism during Katrina.
A very sad state we are in, today.
Very sad.
See Kabar’s post in this thread. What is your take on western VA? We had someone from western VA post a few days ago that it is solidly McCain, yet no one seems to be factoring it in. True, it’s not as heavily populated as either the north or the south, but in a close election, it would be important.
