It doesn't look good. From what Virginians are saying, the big Webb precincts are included in this, and his numbers overall are not as good as Kaine's.

Allen 50.40%
Webb 48.40%

72% precincts in

Just found you guys, thanks Beachmom.

Its still to close to call. Could go either way IMO.

But this thing is so tight. I think Firespirit was right. The voter intimidation made a difference in such a tight race. If it's even halfway close, and Webb loses, he should fight this thing. We've got the evidence of their thuggery.

I'm watching the local numbers, and will go to your link.

This is torture.

like less then 3,000 on channel 10.

G F Allen Republican 1,042,414 49.82%
J H Webb Jr Democratic 1,024,756 48.98%
91.53% results in

they don't have the district added yet that I was working in. That was totaled a long time ago.

I haven't figured out how to get to a particular precinct. They must be slow typing it all in.

on CNN, women went for Webb, and the men are a bunch of rednecks.

them. I'm really annoyed with my state right now. The hate amendment (aka marriage amendment) passed overwhelmingly, and Webb is still down. Virginia is just not in play for president if we can't get rid of Barfbag.

:woohoo:

:woohoo:

A shout out to PA:

:applause:

:woohoo:

This one is for Teresa.

another pat on the back for John Kerry. How is Carol Shays Porter doing, I think thats the right name. I swear I cannot keep up with all these scrollings on the bottom of the TV.

Loved his speech at the NH Jefferson-Jackson dinner. :woohoo:

All looking good

Kilroy holding on!

Heath Shuler has been declared a winner over incumbent Charles Taylor in the NC 11th! I don't think Shuler is exactly a flaming liberal, but at least he's a D! :woohoo:

Okay -- I know it's been a great night for others, but it's just been bad, bad, bad if you live in Virginia Beach. Our city is returning a rubber stamper to Congress (97% with Bush) and significantly added to Allen's numbers.



Edited to add: here's a link to the article on Kellam's concession (which includes your bad numbers????):

http://content.hamptonroads.com/story.cfm?story=113972&ran=185145&tref=po

On Channel 13 they were saying that many of the votes still left to be counted are in Democratic precincts. (Oh please, oh please)

hard on absentee ballots for both VB and Norfolk. Together with NoVa absentee ballots, that might be the difference.

49.47% to 49.33% as of this commercial break on WVEC. Why are they the only ones with continuing coverage btw? Are Letterman and Leno really that important? Geez.

I'll still wait, before I get too happy.

Darn.

Webb is ahead!!!

to the umpteen negative flyers sent out on him, they were disgusting. The only way Repubs know how to win is by playing dirty, and we have to many around here that don't allow themselves to think on their own.

They had no choice but to endorse Thelma Drake. I don't know how effective those flyers are -- doesn't everybody just toss them?

I met him on Sunday, and I thought he was very nice. But somehow not hungry enough to make it happen in a difficult race. I think we should run David Ashe again in '08. Or maybe '10, so it's not a presidential year.

I think people should stop blaming Kerry for losing Virginia -- I mean, we ran a former Republican and an old family name candidate (Kellam = Kennedy around here) and we've already lost one, and the other is too close to call. I think it's possible even Mark Warner would not have won Virginia as a presidential candidate -- they just vote differently on a national level as a state level. Kaine won Virginia Beach; tonight's a very different story.

he was also wrong about Iraq too, but I still voted for him. I got more calls and junkmail about Kellam then I did about Webb, though.

He would have been a "weak kneed" Dem -- he demanded Kerry to apologize for the botched joke. In favor of the marriage amendment. Promised to live blog on our local blog and then backed out. I could go on and on with the problems with his candidacy. Still, a nice guy.

There will probably be a recount, but Webb is going to be ahead going into it.

:thumbsdown: I don't want Kerry to get any backlash from this. At least we kept our governor.

dirty games were played, way before Kerry botched a joke.

I know the blame game will be out in force. Dirty games were played all across TN, mainly in the western part of the state (Ford Country--Memphis). People are still voting.

but I guess we kind of expected it.

And some congressmen. He hung in there, he is going to probably concede soon, but he has made it a close race. He did good. It is just conservative down here. Lots of RW talk radio (Rush, Insanity, Savage and so on).

He was on a downward trend BEFORE the botched joke. Anyone who says that Kerry caused his loss will get an earful from me. It's simply a lie.

tomorrow, somebody needs to get a timeline of polls showing Kerry had nothing to do with it.

As I said before going in, it was going to be a tough race. His family was a liablity and sadly racism still exists here. Case in point that GOP race baiting ad.

voter intimidation targeting minorities.

Pulling for ya.

and yes it still plays here in the south. I don't know how many times I have seen people here act as if they are not prejudice at all in front of someone, and then when that person is not around use the "n" , like it was nothing. I have told them how I feel about that and told them not to talk that way in front of me, it totally disgusts me.

Oprah says if you hear talk like that (against gays and others, too), and remain silent then you are quietly endorsing their prejudices. So, no matter how uncomfortable, I always say something to refute their racism, that it is fundamentally wrong.

then he has to be given credit for each and every House and Senate seat we picked up. Anyone who blames Kerry for Ford's loss is not very bright.

I was reacting to a GD poster in KG's thread a few days ago that said Kerry was to blame if Ford loses. Kerry had nothing to do with this. His family was a liability and that's the fact.

It was the racist ad and the general conservatism of TN - Ford was slipping in the polls before the "gaffe" which had ZERO to do with the result.

If anyone tries to blame Kerry then respond that Kerry deserves the majority of credit for his other supported candidates winning. They can't have it both ways.

As well as the one about Harold being slick and partying at the Playboy mansion. The way the media spinned him crashing Corker's press conference may have hurt also.

No way do I blame Kerry. Ever.

but never appeared with him. I think Ford wanted it that way.

It was a naysayer that I responded to cause Harold wanted JK to apologize when he did nothing wrong. Harold lost this race because of the ad, and well, he was a Ford.

Though the Ford name is popular in West and Middle TN, it was a liablity going in the race. It was a matter of time that race and family issues were going to be brought up dirty by the GOP.


I agree with you, I think he wanted it that way. They ran from Kerry in 2004, and Gore in 2000. I am glad Kerry helped in out. Very glad.

:woohoo:

It looks like Webb is going to be victorious, but Allen will probably demand a recount whether it is under 1% or not.

So it's probably going to be up to Montana.
