Follow those races here. Report turnout, exit polls etc. as they happen..

[calex59]

McD is winning, in fact all Rs in VA are winning. Nothing on Hoffman yet, but C and C are tied in NJ.

[MissouriConservative]

“I’ve seen them call races at 3% returns when it was like 55% to 45%.”

The rule of thumb is that if a democrat is a hair’s width ahead, no matter the percentage, to call it. Depress the votes (remember Florida in 2000 and the panhandle debacle). If the democrat is losing, don’t call it no matter that it looks like Custer at Little Bighorn.

[Onerom99]

I’ll add more shares of Corzine then.

[careyb]

VA at 63/36 McD with 25%

[RinaseaofDs]

There’s some head-faking going on. Money’s involved, so I imagine there’s some ‘gaming’ leading up to poll-closed. 16 minutes to go.

[jeltz25]

I hope Christie wins but a dem losing in NJ would be like a Republican losing in Utah or South Carolina

[bustinchops]

Balls won’t do them any good unless they grow a spine first.

Right now we’ve got invertebrate eunuchs running the party.

“From a Democrat operative
Corzine isn’t pulling nearly enough votes out of Northern Jersey, and turnout is 25% lower than expected in key Democrat districts.

Quote: “It’s bad. [Democrats] freaking out about the low turnout in Newark.”

This is going to wake up a few people in the State-Run-Media.

Zombies are always awake. Problem is their capacity to reason.

[rebapiper]

If Corzine wins you know, acorn and seiu played a big role in rigging the numbers.
NOBODY IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD VOTE FOR CORZINE. I can't believe their are American people leaving in New Jersey that won't get out and vote, stop the election fraud. They have been denied the right to vote more than once and they will vote for this LOW LIFE that is willing to bleed them of every dime they make. Are their really Americans that live in that state of New Jersey or is that state packed with the terrorist groups that funded Torricelli for all those years, the same group of terrorists that funded Hitlary for the New York senate seat.
Bill Richardson became Governor of New Mexico even thou he was part of the missing technology from Los Alamos and then they tried to cover everything up by almost burning down the state. Bill Richardson didn't care if every man,woman or child burned alive, yet the people voted him in office, so they say, they people didn't fight it. Jackson and Sharpton went to N.M. to make sure Richardson was placed in the Governor seat. They got away with it and looks like Cozine may also get away with it. All votes need to be counted and checked.
When Rick Lazio ran against Hitlary, his life and family members lives were threatened.
If their are any Americans living in the State of New Jersey they must fight for that state, fight for the right to be free, fight for the right to be heard. Expose Cozine, Expose the terrorists groups in Jersey, stop the Communist RAT pary in New Jersey.
Can anyone honestly believe that the American people in Jersey, if any are going to vote for higher taxes when they don't even have jobs, get real. Corzine is nothing but a leach, he has plenty of money to buy gold and while he bankrupt Jersey for obozo. Corzine lives off the backs of honest working people.

A fair point. Even a close race sends a message of a sort. but... it sure would be sweet to take NJ.

[careyb]

Shep said an hour ago that he could call this within the hour. he lied.

[workerbee]

the fact that a Republican is even CLOSE in New Jersey versus an incumbent with the built-in machinery and money that Corzine has, well, that should tell you something.

I'm just hoping it tells blue dogs and the GOP something!

[RKBA Democrat]

“Have they been counting northern Virginia first? I heard McDonnell has been doing very well there!”

Not really. Should be seeing it soon. Looks like McDonnell is going to win. He deserves to: he’s run the first competent GOP campaign for governor in the Commonwealth in some time.

[bustinchops]

I take it you saw those appalling ignorant New Jersians on that focus group Hannity and Luntz held last week?

My God, I was embarrassed to be an American. Their thinking was about one step above an on-site ninth ward Katrina “victim.”

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

This is ridiculous. How can they not have enough info to call this for McDonnell? Fairfax County doesn’t vote like Detriot for Pete’s sakes, even if it went 60% for Deeds, it can’t close the gap with McDonnell kicking butt in the rest of the state.

[RinaseaofDs]

Hope you’re right. The gent who said it would be like a D taking Utah is correct. It would be a massive blow.
