I voted before I went to work this morning. Paper ballot, Scantron. There was one of the electronic machines there, but there seemed to be a problem with it. I couldn’t tell whether the old coot sitting at it was just confused or whether there was a genuine problem.
Or, for that matter, whether the Lancaster County precinct that Airman was talking about was mine…
Yeah, because everyone knows exit polls are good only for other people’s elections.
CNN goes out on a limb!
Lugar wins in Indiana!
Fox News follows with a scoop: Bernie Sanders wins in, er, that NE state that now I forget.
Oops.
MSNBC calling Ohio governor for Strickland. I jumped up and squealed.
Looks like Ohio voters approved Issue 2, Early Voting.
Unfortunately, as expected, it looks like Virginia Ballot Question 1 (the Homophobe Amendment) has passed, as well. Virginia is for (straight) lovers…
CBS says Santorum is outta there!

VA-SEN Webb: 51% Macaca: 48% n/a n/a 14.45% 07:49 pm EST
Where do they get these numbers from? MSNBC just put up these numbers:
Webb: 282,637
Allen: 281,397
A difference of only 1240 votes but still bad news for Allen, because smaller rural preceincts report first. Larger, more democratic areas like NoVa have yet to report.
And this just in:
Ford: 2030
Corker: 1328
And Corker was supposed to have been up by a dozen points in some polls?
Wow, that’s what I call close:
Harris is history in Florida [CNN]. No surprise there.
CNN calls for Menendez; NBC for Casey.
I hope the dominos are starting to fall.
Fox News just called Pa. for Casey. Buh Bye, EX Senator Frothy Mix. 
With 57% reporting, Allen’s about 20K votes ahead, dammit:
G F Allen Republican 629,330 50.20%
J H Webb Jr Democratic 609,220 48.59%
G G Parker Independent Green 13,931 1.11%
Write Ins 1,209 0.10%
Well, the Democrats don’t need VA if they can take TN.
Now, just as second there, Patty…
(First Irishman out in the spring, right? But I digress…)
…you present these statistics in offical, *bona fide * statistical factoid typeface. But, (ahem), “Macaca”? Hey! I mean, hey!
I suspect the odds still favor a Dem win in VA over a Dem win in TN.
I’ll happily take both though.
My town’s small enough that we just use mail-in ballots. I dropped mine off at lunch today.
I have to believe the talking heads who are saying that it’ll swing Dem when NoVa precincts start reporting. Otherwise what are talking heads good for?
(Well they did have some good music back in the 80’s)
