Virginia huh, it looks like Florida might be the surprise, and Virginia a let down / nt

[thesubstanceofdreams]

1. 3% and 2% reported

100% meaningless numbers in both states

[still_one]

2. ok /nt

[bunnies]

3. Whatever. We take FL and its over. Good enough for me. nt

[still_one]

5. I agree /nt

[deadparrot]

4. Will you stop posting these ridiculous one-thought threads?

The rural (red) areas are always reported first because there are fewer voters to count.

[writes3000]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! They are ridiculous & wrong. nt

[JVS]

10. In FL they seem to be reporting urban areas first like Miami-Dade

[deadparrot]

16. And Obama's winning!

By larger margins than Kerry. So chill.

[Honeycombe8]

24. He's posting what a lot of folks are thinking. Don't badger the nervous nellies. nt

[deadparrot]

29. I'm nervous, too.

There's a difference between nervousness and ignorance.

[CakeGrrl]

6. You need to focus on what counties are reporting.

Counties with big urban (Obama-advantage) areas are larger and take more time to report.

Small rural counties come in faster.

7. Who are you?????????????

[cynatnite]

8. Northern and Eastern Virginia is strong Dem...It's fake Virginia....

according to McCain camp.

Don't count the state out by a long shot.

[bj2110]

9. Nothing from northern VA or Norfolk area yet- chill out

[Thrill]

11. Are you kidding? Hampton Roads and Northern VA haven't come in at all

[thatsrightimirish]

12. Remember Webb?

He didn't win until the VERY last minute. Patience

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

13. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING OUT ASSES OFF, DAY IN AND DAY OUT IN VIRGINIA!!

WE WILL WIN VIRGINIA!! PERIOD!!!!!

[Borgnine]

14. FUCK YEAH!

This hand-wringing is pissing me the fuck off!

[still_one]

18. It isn't because people didn't work, it is the voting machines I am concerned about /nt

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

27. Not every precinct uses machines. Many use paper ballots!

The bad news is that it differs from precinct to precinct and from county to county...

Don't worry. We got this!!

[still_one]

15. Good!!!!!! /nt

[Honeycombe8]

25. Now THAT'S what I wanna hear!!! Hats off to you guys for all your hard work!!! nt

[fishwax]

17. jumpin the gun on that a bit

still too early to tell ...

[still_one]

20. I hope so, but with all the early reports of voting machine problems it concerns me /nt

[Tatiana]

19. It's still TOO EARLY. Give some time for our precincts to report. n/t

[pdxmom]

21. Virginia looks good to me. The counties that have come in have

pretty much been a given. But Buchanan County came in blue, which shocks me. Albemarle came in blue, probably thanks to UVA, and Henrico is a blowout for Obama. Wait until Fairfax, Prince William, Norfolk, and so forth start coming in.

[VADem11]

22. WTF?

Obama is running ahead of Kerry and Webb in the republican counties that have come in. The cities, Hampton Roads, and Northern Virginia have yet to report. Wait for Fairfax County. It has more than one million people.

[FreeState]

23. Look at CNN's exit poll and chill already (link)

[DainBramaged]

26. OMG JUST FUCKING STOP BEING A DOWNER

[NutmegYankee]

28. No kidding n/t

[rvablue]

30. I'm taking it that you've never watched election results come in because your post is irrational

and naive.

It is not going to help if all night long, across the country, if you post things like this after a miniscule amount of the vote is in.

[dhpgetsit]

31. Exit polls are great for Obama!

Exit Polls: Sweep Virginia?
In the Hotline battleground of VA, exit polls show:

- Obama leading men by 6% and women by 12%

- African-American turnout is 21% -- unchanged from ‘04

- 90% of voters think the economy is not so good/poor -- a group breaking 56-43% in Obama's favor
