Thread for discussion of tonight's VA Gov Elecitons Result. Is this too early?
So you’re predicting a Cuccinelli win?
I have never heard of Short Pump before this election, but I love that name! Great name for a rock band
You know, they could of had the Senatorial special election today. Lots of Christy coat tail votes.d
To win by 9% on the heels of Obamacare may be hard. Look how badly McAuliffe has performed in other blue areas across the state. Lets hope Sarvis peeled the teens in Fairfax.
Richmond and Norfolk are finishers. That’s where the Dem money went. They are waiting to see how many votes they need.
I fear you are right.
That is sad.
It seems like it will be rather close but there is enough out in Fairfax for McAwful to pull it out.
Whoa..this looks odd.
With 76.9% in, Cucinelli is leading 47.8% to 45.3%.
With the same %, the D candidate for Lt. Gov is leading 53% to 47&.
Any thoughts as to what this may mean?

Quick look at the Huffington Post interactive map implies, based on outstanding precincts, that McAuliffe can pick up about 50,000 votes in the blue counties. That doesn’t guarantee anything, as the distribution of outstanding precincts may not mirror the rest of the counties in question.
That may look bad for Cuccinelli as he only leads by 41,000 votes. But the above does NOT take into account outstanding precincts in red counties. Looking at those counties I’d estimate a gain for Cuccinelli in remaining precincts of 15,000 votes.
That nets out to a 35,000 vote gain for McAuliffe, who trails by 41,000, with a very large variance. So I’d say it’s too close to call. Anyone who says it’s definitely one or the other winning, without specific knowledge such as “the remaining precincts in Fairfax are much more red/blue than the county overall” is blowing smoke.
Hang in there, Cooch!!!
in 2006 with control of the US Senate hanging in the balance, George Macaca Allen was holding a substantial lead but in the end he lost and with it the US senate.
Another interesting fact...if the VA governor’s race was a true referendum on Obamacare, then Terry McAwful is in trouble. Fox exit polling says opponents of Obamacare went for Cuccinelli by a 80-11% margin.
Yep. Just like in Florida. The southern city liberal strongholds in Florida are always last to report -- they need to know how many votes to fabricate to win.
I’ve never understood the red county obsession with reporting votes so quickly.
Lord, hear our prayers.
A lot of people left Lt. Gov. blank.
Right now Fairfax is 52-40. They were up near 60 last vote. Bring it, McLoser!
O won by 150,000 votes in 2012.
81.2% reporting
47.2 C
45.9 TM
They are the responsible ones. Always.
Dems are slackers.
