I still doubt it, but it'll be close enough for protests of voter irregularities regardless.

need another Tennessee update (the Ford family are our friends-in-law )-- CNN is saying nothing...

Ford's still behind a bit, but Shelby County, Ford's home, is slow to report.

'Night folks.

8:30pm: NC 11th District (R): Heath Shuler (D) vs. Charles Taylor (R)

Allen

Webb
1,062,108
49.13%

Still some Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William out. Still a third of Richmond unreported. Webb might actually win this thing.

Webb my gain about 3-4 thousand more votes in Richmond I don't see how he'll make up the difference as the other remaong counties outstanding are splitting about 50-50 with very few precints left.

Oh man, Heath Shuler is a Congressman! How freaky is that.

Thanks! Ya'll really are on top of things...

Is the Democrats' net gain still at 3 in the Senate? Right now CNN is yappin' about Pelosi...

Yes... Tennessee doesnt look likely, and it looks like Webb will JUST BARELY miss out. That leaves Missouri and Montana. If they win both of those, the Senate is 50-50.

Are you kidding me? Blacksburg is liberal as all hell. So is Radford, all those professors and the fact that students can't vote in town

That's kinda what I meant when I said I blame it on them. All the indoctrinated folks that either teach or were taught and remain in the area.

As a contrast...here is Pulaski Co.

Pulaski
Candidate Votes
% of votes
George Allen (REP)*6,276 57%
Jim Webb (DEM)4,616 42%


100% of precincts reporting

Quite the difference in just going one more county south of here!

8:00pm: PA 10th District (R): Chris Carney (D) vs. Don Sherwood (R)

9:00pm: AZ 8th District (R): Gabrielle Giffords (D) vs. Randy Graf (R)

One seat for the Dems in Pennsylvania: http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2006/pag.../10/index.html

Another seat in Arizona: http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2006/pag.../08/index.html

And Mark Foley's seat goes to the Dems in Florida: http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2006/pag.../16/index.html

3 more Democratic pickups, and Nancy Pelosi is the Speaker of the House...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We want Frerotte! We want Frerotte!

(Sorry, old habits die hard.)

MSNBC is now saying that the Democrats have subpoena power.

Speaker Pelosi, start your oversight.

Dems to pick up at least 19 House seats, with up to 29 possible.

Looks like Senate will stay Red.

[chomerics]

Looks like VA is going to be this years Fla and Ohio

Great candidate there, who can only beat the resigned-in-disgrace symbol of "Republican corruption" by one point.

I know, a win is a win. But I figured that one would be an absolute blow out, even if the Dems ran Fidel Castro's nephew.

Looks like 4-5 pick up there. Norfolk and Newport News were not done either and look strongly to go to Webb.

It looks like a lot of Loudoun and Prince William are still uncounted. I think those tilt lightly to Webb, may pick up a couple thousand more there.

Looks like there are a couple uncounted Arlington and Fairfax areas still, rest looks even.

I think Webb ends up losing by around 5k, wow is that close.
