Webb Slips, Santorum Done

Webb's now trailing, though urban areas like Arlington, Alexandria, and Richmond city still have quite a few precincts yet to report.

Meanwhile, MSNBC is calling Pennsylvania for Casey, a loss for Santorum.  That puts the Dems halfway to a Senate takeover. 

The networks also seem to be minutes away from calling Tennessee for Corker.

Sweet jebus! Both Santorum and Souder are back in? Great. Another four years of drug raids for (against) the children.

That's got to be a typo!

[Tom]

Yes it is a typo. Santorum lost. Casey won.

Allen has ~33,000 vote lead now.

[Kwix]

Oh, yay!!!! Thank you for typos!!!

[Zeno]

It is now a ~34,000 vote lead for Allen.

[Zeno]

The gap is now ~10,000 votes.

The anti-gay amendment in Va is more-or-less guaranteed to pass now.

Homophobic bastards.

[FinFangFoom]

I think Webb will take it since Arlington has only reported 50%. The other 50% should net Webb 15k.

[Chris S.]

I've got ~7,000 up for Allen from CNN right now.

[Brian Courts]

That puts the Dems halfway to a Senate takeover.

Yeah but PA wasn't a close one - Dems knew they were getting it. Without Allen's seat, which looks dubious now, Dems end up one short unless they pull a big surprise somewhere else which is unlikely.

[Chris S.]

But yeah, Arlington is still lagging, so we'll see.

[Brian Courts]

Ahhhh damn, that's twice tonight I've missed that tag. Ugh 🙂

Anyway, VA election website has Webb -11k and change with 79% reporting.

Hmmm closing the gap in VA... now down to 7.6k deficit for Webb with 84% reporting.

[FinFangFoom]

This is the most exciting automatic refreshing that I've ever watched!

[Chris S.]

It's tight. We're going to need some lube on this one.

[Zeno]

If it is within ~10,000 vote than I believe there is an automatic recount in the Virginia Senate race.

Wow - down to 1333 with 86.66% reporting...

~1.5K

[Chris S.]

You beat me to it, Brian.

[Zeno]

3.5k differene now.

[FinFangFoom]

Arlington and Richmond haven't moved from 88% and 67% reporting,respectively, for awhile. Those should add a fair number of votes to Webb.

[Zeno]

~27,000 difference for Allen.

[Brian Courts]

Ouch - stick a fork in Webb, he's done.

[Zeno]

Bacl within ~18,000, with ~10% of precincts to report.

[Zeno]

MSNBC reporting that 1/2 of NOVA hasn't been reported.

[Adam W.]

Zeno-that's HUGE. That could EASILY change the race for Webb.

[Zeno]

Allen ahead ~13,000 votes w/ ~93.6% precincts reporting.

[FinFangFoom]

The Virginia website seems to indicate that most of NOVA has reported, though there is probably enough in Arlington to almost completely close the gap between them. Also, Richmond still has a 1/3 to report, and that should be another big boost.

[FinFangFoom]

God dammit. I've never gone .000 for an election, and I better not start now.

[Zeno]

FinFangFoom,

~12,000 vote lead for Allen.

Kyl (Arizona) apparently has won.

So, PA is replacing one fetus fetishist with another fetus fetishist.

I recommend that Pennsylvania women stock up on coat hangers. You're going to need them.
