You cannot elect a man who calls someone a macaca!
This race is making me very nervous, I wonder when we will really find out who won.

6,708 votes separate the 2 candidates with Webb (D) in the lead and 99% precincts reporting.

Nail bitter for sure, but it looks really great for the Dems to take control of the Senate.

Well, one thing they were good at was amending the constitution to block gay marriage.

Have you been to VA before? If so, what parts?

I just don't understand with everything going on in this country that gay marriage brings out the voters.

My comment addressed what they are good at, not what they are good for. I don't know how old you are so I have no idea how long ago you were there. I just disagree with the comment about it being predominately redneck. I think VA is emerging as being more representative of the mid-atlantic states rather than with the South - especially if you look at the recent elections. Presidency in 04 was rather close, two successive Democratic governors etc. Sen. John Warner should be careful in the future - especially if Mark Warner decides to run for that spot. Granted, these candidates are more socially conservative democrats but it is still a change. While passing the marriage ban may be seen as a still being backwards or redneck, VA is taking baby-steps in the opposite direction. Complete change will take some time.

dont worry, webb is going to win. too many votes seperating them. its just a matter of time.

I just wish the media had the balls to call this one over, at least until the canvass of the votes in 2 weeks

OK Virginia, you aren't killing me anymore.
