Still no worrying about Virginia? 25% of votes counted and McCain still ahead... :/
I'm not worried because virtually none of the Democratic strongholds, which also happen to be the most populous areas of Virginia, have anywhere close to all their votes in (Fairfax is at like 2%). There's a reason that news organizations aren't calling it.

McCain
57,355
54%
Obama

45%
2% of precincts reporting

Since 1960, no candidate has won Florida without winning Hillsborough County.
There goes my hope for Tampa peeps.

Wow at the initial Ohio numbers. Didn't TDG tell us that Obama wouldn't win Ohio. Like a bunch of times?
I never ruled it out.

But, I wouldn't get too excited. There are three counties reporting: one is rural, and Obama's down there. The other two are in the Cleveland area, and Obama's up big there, just as Kerry was.

Don't get overconfident. Celebrating now would be the equivalent of celebrating a victory because California goes blue. The Cleveland area is ALWAYS heavily Blue.

I honestly don't understand how this thread is not stickied!!1

I guess NBA and NFL are more important than finding out who the next president will be.

Guys quit trolling Virginia. There is a reason nobody's called it yet. They haven't gone CLOSE to counting Democratic strongholds yet.

It doesn't need to be stickied when it'll stay at the top of the page from all the posts.

This thread is ALWAYS on the front page. It's more important than any sport, so more people post here and keep on the front page.

It's 8:21 EST, fyi.

Arkansas closes at 8:30, then a bunch of states close at 9.
I mean 830 Est. Sorry.:lol

I am going to eat now. Sushi, or pizza?

Fuck it, pizza's closer. NoVA better be in when I get back.
I had same dilemma. My friend yelled at me, "YOU LIVE IN AMERICA! For tonight you will eat a hamburger and drink Bud Light!" I agreed :)

by the way... cspan running a good piece right now on Howard Dean's 50 State Strategy.

Dean has to be given a lot of credit for this if Obama wins AND the DNC takes more seats.
