[Keystone Phil]

Who's expected to win in the Lt. Governor & Atty General races in Virginia?

I think the GOP is expected to win both rather easily.

Considering that Bolling is now down in the Lt. Governor's race, this doesn't exactly bode well for Kaine if conventional wisdom is right about that race and the same precincts are reporting for each race.

Virginia numbers are really strange.

Gerry Daly (nickshepDem/Alcon alert) is saying that the race in Virginia will be a nailbiter as Kilgore is overperforming Earley and underperforming Bush 2004 in the precincts he has examined.

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

Yeah, I knew something was fishy in those "official" results. 

I'm following the Washington Post cite, which I trust more, quite frankly, although it only has 10% reporting right now.

[Moooooo]

Thanks Sam.

But I really dont understand what Gerry is trying to say.  Kilgore is overperforming, but underperforming in relation to Bush's numbers.  Is that a good thing or a bad thing for Kilgore?

was Earley Warner's oppostion in 2001?

[Alcon]

Thanks Sam.

Kilgore is outperforming a Republican who lost, but underperforming Bush.  In other words, it's not a surprise landslide either way.

New numbers with 28%, 51-47.

[A18]

Where do you get the numbers?

[Sam Spade]

He's saying that Kilgore is overperforming compared to Earley 2001, Wa'rner's opposition.

Still early, of course. (no pun intended)

[Moooooo]

Polls closed in NJ.  Ill jump on those numbers in a sec.

[wbecker]

kilgore is likely to underperform bush's 54-45 win here in 2004.

Generally speaking....

The best way to get an early track on these thngs is go apples to apples...

Compare the same precienct from 2001 to the same precienct in 2005...

Pay aparticulat attention to the relative turnout beyween the years also....

[TheresNoMoney]

The reason Kilgore was ahead earlier is because the results from Brunswick County were off, they had Kilgore getting 98% of the vote with 844% turnout.

The results have now been correct and Kaine is up by 6.5% overall:

[Alcon]

Where do you get the numbers?

CNN, which is echoing the Virginia SoS's site and some other source (they are getting numbers early it seems).

52-46 Kaine with 31% in.
