The difference in Virginia is...
CNN:
Prince William County:
Webb 42,038
Allen 39,700
The VA site:
Prince William County:
Webb: 5,670
Allen: 6,492
The VA site is slow in counting that county.
CNN is reviewing how many boxes are still out.
It's that close.
This is insane. The elections I've experienced over the past past 6 years are out of this world in their compe iveness.
Allen is speaking...(MSNBC) sounds concession like...
Wishful thinking. The lawyers are salivating at the potential billable hours.
Blah, he didn't concede. Looks like a recount.
basically it's a "hang in there while the count continues...I'm going to bed" speech
How in the could he sleep at a time like this?
Take 10 sleeping pills with cognac and snooooozzzHow in the could he sleep at a time like this?
The Lawyers im sure are flocking to Virginia as we speak.
This is like the movie Gung HO. The line is moving too fast. It's too hard to count.
The Washington Post is reporting that there are still thousands of absentee ballots left to be counted that could turn this race...
Webb, Allen Race Too Close to Call
Same-Sex Marriage Ban Wins Approval by Substantial Margin

Washington PostDemocratic challenger James H. Webb and Republican in bent George F. Allen were locked in a dead heat in the race to represent Virginia in the U.S. Senate. The race remains too close to call and appears headed for a recount.
At 12:30 a.m., according to unofficial results tallied by the state of Virginia, Webb had a lead of less than 2,000 votes over Allen. With 2,425 out of 2,443 precincts reporting Webb had 1,148,750 votes and Allen had 1,146,952 votes.

George Allen * (R) 1,141,030 49
Glenda Parker (IG) 25,556 1
Key: * In bent | Red Checkmark Winner
Precincts: 100% | Updated: 12:42 AM ET | Source: AP
The race may be decided by absentee ballots. More than 130,000 absentee ballots were requested in the state and those votes were still being counted early this morning.
Webb addressed his supporters gathered in a Tysons Corner Hotel at about 11:10 p.m. and predicted that he would be declared the winner when all the votes are counted.
"We've been following this in great detail," Webb said, "It looks very, very good for our side." He said he expected to pick up votes in the 11th Congressional District in Northern Virginia and that his campaign was confident that he'd do very well when the absentee ballots were counted.
"It's going to take a while, but at some point soon I think we are going to be on top," Webb said.
The ban on same-sex marriage won approval by a substantial margin. With 87.3 percent of the precincts reporting, the amendment had the support of 58.4 percent of voters.
Exit polls conducted for the Associated Press found that Allen drew strong support from religious voters, those who served in the armed forces and from voters who said terrorism was extremely important. Webb was favored by traditional Democratic voting blocs such as women and blacks and by those who believe the Iraq war is an important issue.
The exit polls also showed that the majority of voters disapproved of the war in Iraq and that the U.S. should withdraw some or all troops. Of those voters, the majority favored Webb. Webb also was supported by those who said the war in Iraq was extremely important in their choice for Senate.
The majority of voters said in exit polls that they disapproved of the way President Bush is running the country, and of those, eight of 10 voted for Webb. Four out of 10 voters said Bush was not a factor in how they voted, and the majority of those chose Allen.
Voters who said the economy was an important factor in their vote were split between Webb and Allen, but six out of 10 voters who said the issue of taxes was extremely important favored Allen.
Webb and Allen ended their race neck and neck. Allen, 54, the former popular governor and, until two months ago a potential presidential aspirant, was trying not only to win re-election but to save his political life.
Mucacca says he's taking this to the Supreme Court where we know the fix will be in.
This is the senate. This is it.
Thousands of aBsentee Ballots out there supposedly.
Webb just said he won in a speech. His lead is increasing.
