6. I hope it is just not one of those feel good internals
Sometimes, I have observed that both parties say that the internals look good to rally the troops. I hope this is not one of them...

16. If Kerry wins Virginia, it means two things
1. The lawyers can all go home.
2. I can get to bed at a decent hour, and finally get a good night's sleep!

31. Yeah it really would be an AMAZING
first sign.

It's also quite a few electoral votes.

I wish the luck of the VA DUers and dem volunteers. They have put in a lot of work. Hell, it's not about wishing them luck -- It's wish ALL OF US LUCK!

11. No more info
Sorry. As I said the volunteer coordinator emailed a message a few minutes ago saying that he just got off the phone with a friend in DC connected with the National Democratic Polling group. That is enough for me. Woooooooooohoooooooo!

15. If Virginia Goes Blue...It Will be All Over But the Shouting!
I was at a wedding reception Saturday night and a couple of the people at my table had come from Northern VA near DC. They both said not to be surprised if VA does surprise tomorrow. Kerry/Edwards has a lot of support in the 'burbs which might be enough to overcome the rest of the state.

29. Maybe so but I have to hold onto the hope
that we have not been wasting our time with all of the phone banking and that we might just make a difference. I think the private polling is more accurate anyway. Anyway, I just have to believe that. I want Kerry/Edwards to have VA's electoral votes!

38. that would be fantastic, help, but even if it doesn't you haven't wasted
your time.

1) working hard for something you believe in is never a waste of time
2) the work you've done will help other candidates down the ticket
3) you are laying groudwork for the future

thanks for your hard work and GO KERRY!

30. Blue Virginia
It definitely looks that way but being that I am in NOVA where it's predominently dem, it's hard to see it any other way. My wife walks across the Key bridge to work in Georgetown and this morning she was confronted by 2 * GOTV volunteers, according to her, they tried to get her to vote for *, she yelled at them that * was a f___ing liar. Sometimes, I wonder how people could still support * with all that we know. Oh, well, I know who I'll cast my vote for tomorrow morning. Anyone here going to the Arlington Courthouse Verizon polling station?

34. new VA resident here...
and I'm just pondering how long-time resident Demos would feel when they see the color change from red to blue?

Forty years in the political desert is a long time.

40. C'mon Virginai, Go Blue!
Let me get started celebrating early.

If they call Va for Kerry early, we'll know it's going to be a great night.

Hell, if VA even stays too close to call for a while we'll know it's a good night.

I can't wait to get this party started.
