Virginia 2009 Megathread

[Ebowed]

I wonder how Buchanan and Dickensen counties will vote.

[Lunar]

If I was a polling outfit, I'd be tempted to poll this race just to test my ability to handle low-turnout elections, but the high amount of variability involved in an off-year blowout election would make it tempting to not release the results beforehand

[East Coast Republican]

PPP says Deeds has gained on McDonnell.

[Sam Spade]

PPP says Deeds has gained on McDonnell.

They say he's down by 14 instead of 15 last time.  Big deal.

[Lunar]

I mean, Obama has allowed his name to be part of a number of pushes by the Deeds campaign, as a tribute to Obama's friendship with Tim Kaine, nothing more, nothing less


Wouldn't surprise me the least to see a lot of variation in polling from high single digits to medium double digits coming into election day, I wouldn't over-interpret anything though

[East Coast Republican]

Take the stick out of your ass Sam.  It's already so tight up there that if I stuck a rock up it I'd have a diamond in 2 weeks.

You obviously can't read a joke when you see one.  How can you be trusted to preside over a trial as well?  Not only that but you have now exposed yourself as having an irritable side towards me...a side that is filled with antiEastCoastRepublican bias.  I will be bringing this up in the trial.

[Tender Branson]

So, their poll probably shows a 56-42 lead for McDonnell.

Haven't seen any poll out of the last 10 have Deeds within a single-digit margin though.  Doesn't mean it can't occur on election day, of course, just pointing it out.

[East Coast Republican]

Oh and one last thing Sam: don't even think about responding to me or asking me to respond further to your childishness.  Be assured that every subsequent comment including your original retort will be forwarded to my attorney.  

You just stepped in it big time.

[Lunar]

Eh, I don't really consider losing by 8.5% anything but a blowout victory by McD, but maybe I should have assigned the range from low double digits to medium-high double digits.

18%  seems too high, but 15% seems not unreasonable, 9% seems within reason as well, y'know?  

[Lunar]

will you marry me?

My, what big words and what a small dick.

[Lunar]

I'm pretty sure scientists have established that correlation for centuries, Sam

[East Coast Republican]

Hey Loser,

Oh wait I'm sorry...your name is LunarFREAK.  Ok LunarFREAK, I suspect that someone who just said I have a small dick must have one himself as it was his only backup.  Ya know for someone in his 'position' he certainly does use the logic ofa  5 year old to come up with insults.

Whoever said I have a small dick just assured that whatever position they hold will now be lost very soon. 

All smiles here on the East Coast!

[Lunar]

who told you about my small dick?  was it April?

[East Coast Republican]

There's someone here named April?

That's such a nice name. 

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I come here looking of an update on the VA Governor's race and all I see is dickless ECR trolling around again with Sam Spade and Lunar playing with him like a cat toy. lol

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I'll say 53-47 McDonnell tomorrow.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

If you want to see how McDonnell does with black voters tomorrow, here are some precincts that might shed some light on it. All of them went 99% for Obama last year, except for the last three, so I think you can guess the demographics.

Newport News

304 - Chestnut
306 - Dunbar
307 - Huntington
308 - Jefferson
309 - Magruder
310 - Marshall
313 - Reed
317 - Washington

Norfolk

402 - Berkeley
403 - Brambleton
411 - Hunton Y
414 - Young Park

Portsmouth

005
011
013
027
028

Richmond

212
602
701
802

Henrico

206 - Central Gardens (98%)

Roanoke

019 - Melrose (97%)
020 - Eureka Park (98%)

[JohnnyLongtorso]

I just found out the Virginia state board of elections has a twitter account, and they say there have been 99,000 absentee ballots returned. I guess turnout may be higher than I expected.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Not often that you see someone with a mullet seeking re-election.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Well, I'm off to cast my (pointless) ballot.

[Franzl]

Well, I'm off to cast my (pointless) ballot.

Unless Deeds loses/wins by 1 vote, it's no more pointless than it otherwise is.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I'm also gonna post my county by county prediction (ignore the shading):

[MODU]

Well, I'm off to cast my (pointless) ballot.

Unless Deeds loses/wins by 1 vote, it's no more pointless than it otherwise is.

I agree, in a sense.  Every vote counts.  Just think ... if 500 people feeling that their vote was pointless and decided not to vote, and the election result mirrors 2005, those 500 voters could have swung the election in a different direction.  So always, always go and vote.

With that said, I'm down here in Southern VA at the moment and will try to catch the McDonnell victory party and get some photos.  If McDonnell is leading by as much as the polls are indicating, then the election results showing him the winner should come out fairly quickly (leaving me with enough time to get back home before it gets too late).
