That's probably only the red counties reporting. They're saving the blue ones and the dead voters for last.
Is there a link to a live site?

Sarvis with 7% Not good. The red precincts are coming in first.

Best I've found thus far: http://electionresults.virginia.gov/resultsSW.aspx?type=SWR&map=CTY
I ran across a map on Huffpo when googling that shows the precincts, but I'll be damned if I'll post it here.

The Libertarian has almost 7%. That stinks, if Cuccinelli loses by that much.

NoVa is going to decide this election...the DC commuter stronghold...gee, surprise, surprise.

I read somewhere in my mad search for a good reporting site that Sarvis is a Dem plant. If this is true, imagine how well Cuccinelli would have done if the stinking GOP would have supported him. Also Breitbart says it's too close to call. We still have a chance. McAulliffe didn't get as many votes as expected in some of the northern counties as he was expected to get. Trying not to get my hopes up too high, but I can't help it.

Democrats run a Libertarian to drain off republican votes.

And the 10-1 advantage in McAuliffe spending certainly isn't hurting him.
-
I tried watching CNN but couldn't do it. "Republicans need to learn to appeal to women." FOX isn't even reporting the election.
-
Oh well. Way too close at this point for Cuccinelli to win. But it was much closer than it was supposed to be which shows people are ticked about 0care.
The shame of it all is my sex. How they can be so damned stupid is beyond me. I listen to them sometimes and am appalled at the things they say and believe, they're pack mentality instead of researching facts, and their voting with their feelings and emotions instead of their brains.
Lastly, if the RNC had given some money and support to Cuccinelli, I don't think it would have even been close.
-
Dead heat with the "Libertarian" candidate still holding 7 percent of the vote.
Yeah, nice to see that bottomless pockets can buy a seat.
We are so screwed.
-
88% reporting
It's tied....FOX is calling it for McAuliffe based on exit polls

So a lot of people are understandably going to be upset that we lost VA tonight(im assuming we did lose it even though its still freakishly close) but there is some really good news to take out of this.
Just a few weeks ago this was a 21 point lead for Democrats in a race that people were now calling a "sure thing".
Now it doesnt look like thats the case.
Why?
Well, what happened between the end of the government shutdown(D+21 in polls) and now?
Answer: Obamacare.
All races naturally tighten in their final days, they dont tighten 21 points unless something happens. That something was Obamacare. So the fact that the race got those close proves in a very tangible way that Obamacare is going to absolutely sink Democratic hopes. Yes we lost this one, but its not the end, and more importantly, it appears to be the beginning of an anti-Obamacare wave.
-
McAuliffe is going to squeak it out in what amounts to a 3 way race.
A week ago it was supposed to be a run away as like a cancer DC leftists flee the hell hole they create and then infect the areas they invade.
No dem should be comfortable with this and I hope that many on our side will rethink voting 3rd party as a knee jerk reaction...was Cuccinelli any kind of a RINO?
Lastly there needs to be a GOTV movement that recognizes a sad reality...there is a large percentage of low/no information women voters who refuse to involve themselves intellectually with political issues.
They have been almost brainwashed into the belief that killing their own babies is their claim to power and equality...stick it to the (literally) man that they have been told has an unfair advantage in life in every way.
There is probably limited chance of undoing this as it is not a reasoned position.
The economic impact of Ocare may supersede that and why so many of the mandates are aimed at tugging their heartstrings with freebies.
The bottom line is a conservative candidate can win with the issues on his/her side so all in all not a bad outcome except for the people of Virginia.
-
On the bright side 65 out of 100 VA state senators are Conservatives...and the attorney general winning is a conservative. Hopefully, they will keep the carpetbagger in check.
-
I'm sure this is a referendum on Obamacare. Watch the Dem machine start doubling down. Next years' election is going to be hell with all kinds of monkey business.
At what point does the State of VA have to do a recount?

Yes it was a referendum...but don't expect the media to say a word about that. They will crow about the victory and claim it was a referendum on the Tea Party. Liars and cheats one and all.

McCain and Co. will blame the Tea Party too.

That they will.

Since McAuliffe is Bill and Hillary's asshole buddy, WSJ called it saying this is Hillary's advent into the presidential race.
Slick Willie pulled this same shit years ago -- political favors all around and watch and see how they cosy up to each other.

Or the fact that Pribus and Benedict Rove did nothing to help the Republican in the race.

How is McAuliffe gonna govern from Federal prison?
-
OK, let me rant, I was very upset last night. Virginia, WTF?
McAuliffe is a carpetbagger and a hack. He doesn't know how to run a state, all he knows is how to raise big bucks for Clintons. He's nothing but slime, I've been watching him for years. I don't understand how 1 million idiots could see any appeal in him.
Third party candidates: WTF? This is nothing but a vanity play for the guy, "Look, I was on a gubernatorial ticket! Look at me!" It does nothing but split the vote. If anyone is tempted to pull the lever for one of these third parties, follow the money first.
In our congressional election of 2010, we had a 3-way. A democrat, a republican, and a conservative. The results were 34-33-33, with the dimrat winning. That meant that 66% of the people were unhappy. Bottom line, 3-ways suck.
So, 52% of VA went for not-carpetbagger hack. This is a fine state of affairs. I am consoled by the exit polls RE obozocare. They can ignore that at their peril.
I want to hear from Wasp on this today.
Rant over.

Democrats, especially rich democrats, don't go to prison.
-
Fact of the matter is the DNC ran a third candidate as a plant to siphon votes from the GOP. That percentage goes to Cuccinelli is the Dems don't cheat. And again there was big money donors that stayed home because they'd rather give that state to a sleaze like McAuliffe and the Clintons than lose their hold on the GOP reigns. Third time now they've left a candidate on the national stage hung out to dry. The GOP is screwing over their base.
Benedict Rove and Rence & Repeat Prius are as much to blame for what happened last night as anyone.
We need someone of the Cruz mindset running the RNC...because as it stands the pure political animals...the ones wou could care less about who has the majority as long as they still have their power are running the GOP as well as the House and Senate. They dictate who gets money and who doesn't...which state candidates will get support and who doesn't and now they are even threatening businesses that do work for Conservative candidate with their very livelihood.

Karin, I appreciate you confidence, but there is precious little that I can add to what you have already said. My takeaways from this are as follows:
- For a race that was a forgone conclusion, MacDickhead squeaked it out. The polls were saying "coronation" and "repudiation" while the reality said "you got lucky, punk". With polling at times (ie sequester) showing Dem+21, a +2 win is a clear message that you had better watch your ass or 2014 will break your back.
- The democrat plant libertarian gave it to MacDickhead, there is no other way to say it. Had Ken gotten half of the votes he siphoned away, we would not be having this conversation. However, it should send a clear message to the VA and National GOP that a lot of people are fed the **** up with the establishment. When the TEA Party guy and Libertarian outpace the democrat, minus national support, that should tell the national level dickheads that being democrat lite is not an option. Whether or not they listen, well....
- The RNC abandoned Virginia to pad the victory of a liberal in NJ.
A Cuccinnelli advisor, speaking to the Daily Caller, said that Republican Governor's Association chairman Bobby Jindal and his team "totally blew it." He added, "Bobby Jindal’s presidential campaign is over. He screwed this up so bad. And I don’t know why. The campaign knew it was moving numbers over ObamaCare. And the RGA was not very far from that information, they could have obtained it themselves...They just blew it....They just took their money and spent it in New Jersey where we took a 17 point win to a 20 point win. They had a system — they had a process....I don’t know what their strategic thinking is. It just doesn’t make sense to me."
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/11/05/Cuccinelli-Campaign-Says-National-GOP-Abandoned-Them-We-Were-on-Our-Own
Whatever mojo Bobby Jindal was carrying is now gone; he handed it all to a liberal from NJ. I look for him to be nominated in a LA Senate race and, after trying to out liberal a democrat, be defeated.
- The establishment RNC is committing suicide in their rush to be the new democrat party. Their behavior in this race has been despicable and they have shown they hold their conservative base in utter contempt. In a race where obamacare was clearly a factor, they refused to capitalize and hang on to a very important governorship.
If they don't unstick their heads from their asses soon, they'll be dead and gone after 2016.
- Local and House of Delegate races are, for the most part, a sea of deep red. The republicans held their supermajority where it counts (HOD) so that tells me the efforts at the local levels continue unabated. When this will translate into national success, only God knows. Until the RNC is ready to draw a distinct line between themselves and the democrats, local and state is where it will stay.
- The "gimme dat" crowd in the urban shitholes and college towns voted themselves more taxpayer funded goodies. 'Nuff said.
- Obamacare has not hit VA that hard, thanks to Ken's efforts. It would appear that his work towards keeping the state of VA from suffering was his undoing.
FWIW...
-
Or the fact that Pribus and Benedict Rove did nothing to help the Republican in the race.
I have been saying all along the establishment republicans would rather see a democrat win any election than a conservative.
Yep, Rove, Pribus, McAuliffe, democrats, and the rest of the establishment republicans won a narrow election in Virginia over a conservative.
Congrats RINO hacks, you won another election against the American people.

Thanks, Wasp, for your thoughts.
McDickhead is such a slimebag, he strikes me as the sort who would fall prey to the temptation of massive corruption.
Someone on the radio said today that he'll probably beat Client 9 in the time it takes to haul him away.
I am so pissed at the RNC I don't know what to do.

Very sad in Virginia when a corrupt political hack with no experience wins the governorship. I guess I really shouldn't be all the surprised since the same thing happened in the past two presidential elections.

The 5,000 or so comments are a big steaming pile of political fight over any and all things under the sun. It's a little exhausting, I got out.

Well, the good news is the RNC won both governors elections and, more importantly, put the Tea Party completely out of business. MSM mode off.

I have had the TV turned off all day. Haven't visited Drudge or anywhere else other than here today. Decided to give my blood pressure a rest.
I expect to hear insanity in the Dump. It sends me through the roof when I see it from people that are intelligent enough to know better.
