Mark Warner in VA is losing?

[LukeFL]

Why???

[NutmegYankee]

1. Rural counties come in first. Wait for the cities.

[Agschmid]

7. Yup.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. CNN Exit Polls have him winning 49-47

Are you referring to partial results?


They aren't particularly useful.

[arcane1]

8. Indeed, CNN projects a repub win in WV with 0% of precincts reporting in.

3. Das boondocks are reporting first.

[voteearlyvoteoften]

4. Red Va reports first if I recall

Northern blue areas come on later Leys hope!

[Proud Public Servant]

5. VA always has red returns coming in first

Blue Northern Virginia and Richmond are among teh last areas to report. Same thing happened with teh gov race last year. But it really wasn't supposed to be this close.

12. Happened a decade ago when I lived there.

I nearly chewed my fingernails off watching the 2001 returns for Governor. I was very active in Mark Warner's campaign.

[LittleBlue]

6. We should keep this one

This isn't one of the ones we were supposed to worry about

[CityDem]

9. Too close

Warner should be running away with his race. If he is only winning by 2% it doesn't look good for other races in NC, NH, etc.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

10. He was supposed to be way up on Gillespie

That being said, let's wait

[Proud Public Servant]

14. Seriously, most polls had him up

By double digits. Even the last poll of the race, when these things traditionally narrow, had him up by 7. If he wins in a squeaker (or, god forbid, loses), it'll be interesting to hear how everyone got it so wrong.

11. rural redneck vote comes in early.

Va urban blue vote comes in later.

[Glimmer of Hope]

13. NoVa will pull through.

A lot of manufactured drama by the talking heads going on.

[libtodeath]

16. Yes,they are not even trying to cover their rw bias at this point

[Robbins]

15. Rual areas always come up first

Same thing happened In 2008 and 2012.

[vdogg]

17. Oh ffs

We go through the same thing every election. The media knows good and damn well that Nova always comes in late but they always try to play up that the democrat is doing poorly when the early returns come in. It's ridiculous.

[Man from Pickens]

18. Warner will not lose

This is one race that there's no need to be concerned about. Gillespie has never been within striking distance and there's no reason to think that changed overnight.

[malaise]

19. He's going to win

Watch the proceedings

[spooky3]

20. Rachel Maddow says "too close to call.."

I'm amazed it is this close.

[spooky3]

21. Steve Kornacki is now explaining that Fairfax Co. will be coming in late.

That was true in 2012 also.

It looks as if other urban areas (all of which are purple or blue, until you get to the suburbs-to-exurbs) are also going to be late to report.

[theHandpuppet]

22. Also, only 10% of Richmond's vote is in

Another Dem stronghold.

[spooky3]

23. Here are county-by-county results, as they happen (Politico):

[Jester Messiah]

24. Unfuckinglikely.

Always takes a while to get NoVA counted. There's lots of us.

[vdogg]

25. Part of the reason it's so close

Is Va. Beach flipped. Va. Beach is largest city in the state. With the vote that's still out in NOVA. Warner should squeak by with 1 or 2% just using some quick math. It's gonna be very close, closer than it should be. He should still win but It's gonna be late.

[vdogg]

26. And right on time

Gillespie lead down to 1%. Good ole NOVA, late to the party as usual.

[LukeFL]

28. Heck yeah!!!

[wysi]

27. VA is always late

I've been voting there since 1996, and when it turns blue it does so quite late in the piece.

[budkin]

29. Looks like he'll hang on but DAMN

Too close for comfort there.

[bullwinkle428]

30. Jesus...is Warner going to become the "second Eric Cantor" this year in VA?

[vdogg]

31. It's ok.

He's in the lead now.
