Virginia too close to call while Kentucky was called instantly? That’s not good for Warner. ---

It’s early, but VA is looking like Warner will win VA by roughly the same margin as Obama and McAuliffe did. ---

It’ll be interesting if Georgia (Senate) doesn’t turn into a runoff. The Libertarian is not sucking off the vote from the rural areas. ---
