To make ANY kind of statement and really kick the baggers in the teeth it needs to be a sweep. We need that talking point!

One of the result pages had a county or possibly precinct map, with the results mostly from the western portion of the state.

After 2000, 2004, I don't like to see projections..

I know Repubs like to cheat and are good at it.

I've been thru too many elections where Dems are projected to win and at the last moment things take a turn.

We've got so many teabagger pricks floating around this place, sometimes it starts to get to a person. A blue sweep would be a restoration of faith.

It's remarkable how the Republicans have completely blown Virginia in recent years. It was a one-party state for quite a while, and now almost all of the statewide offices will be held by Democrats.

Good news though -- in my district, the Democratic challenger is currently leading the GOP incumbent delegate with only a few precincts left to report!
