FOX News is reporting that the race is too close to call in Virginia after the polls closed minutes ago(?)
This was supposed to be a double digit victory for Republican Bob McDonnell.
FOX News just flashed that McDonnell is winning 67% of the vote so far in Virginia. The Republicans running for Attorney General and Lt. Governor are also winning with 66% of the vote. Barack Obama won 53% of the vote in Virginia last year.
Drudge is following the top 3 races in New Jersey, Virginia and NY-23.
UPDATE: McDONNELL WINS BIG! FOX calls the race.

This is the way it is. They always flip to the a”too close to call” because there is great fear in calling it wrong. I have seen incredibly lopsided elections. At the day of they were too close to call. I have seen pollsters drop into the hall of shame by calling an election wrong .
Bill Mitchell commented:
No, they aren’t saying it’s too close to call. They are saying they aren’t ready to call it yet.
Bill Mitchell commented:
Right now on Drudge, it is running 2:1 McDonnell

Bill Mitchell commented:
With 2%, Republicans running 2:1 across the board in VA. Wow, epic blowout maybe?

Drudge calling the race for McDonnell.
That’s one.
No time or desire to celbrate – just work to stop the purposeful collapse of The USA.
John K. commented:
McDonnell’s up by a huge margin. I understand the hesitancy about calling races. But this one’s as clear as night. He’s up 61.72%-38.16% right now with 40.46% precincts reported.

KKK members were Democrats.
Bobbi commented:
yeah beergut. what are you? from Persia? Don’t know the history of the KKK-Democrats? Don’t know that the great FDR would not let himself be photographed with an Afro-american?
DUH…
Kevin commented:
Are all Dems just completely stupid beergut?
The Klan was founded by Nathan Bedford Forrest in Pulaski, TENNESSEE in 1866.
Libs really are just plain ignorant.
Ancestral home. Good Christ!!

Are you really surprised that the ancestral home of the KKK went to a republican?
Georgia had a gubernatorial election today? Are you sure?
I guess that your pseudonym and post says all we have to know about you:
You’re a fat, out of shape, drunk racist.
And, you might want to check and see who Virginia went for in ’08. Which makes you stupid, too, in addition to being a fat, drunk racist.
Quite a resume you’ve got there, buttercup.
