Deeds gaining on McDonnell.
The numbers keep shifting in the still-unresolved race for Attorney General, and Democrat Creigh Deeds just keeps gaining on Republican Bob McDonnell. UVa Democrats president David Wasserman just commented: Everyone look at the sbe.vipnet.org site and look at the magically changing numbers in the AG race, which seem to be updated every five minutes by …
Albo: Kilgore loss Bush’s fault.
Republicans put Del. Dave Albo back into office, and now they’ve got to live with him. From the Washington Times: President Bush’s sinking popularity helped seal Democrat Timothy M. Kaine’s victory in Virginia’s gubernatorial election Tuesday, politicians and pollsters said yesterday. “We know that George Bush is just killing us,” said Delegate David B. Albo, …
Props to Survey USA, Roanoke College.
I don’t give Survey USA a lot of credit. Their methodology strikes me as sloppy, their results wild, and their whole approach sort of like McPolling. Just the day before the election, I said that they don’t know their ass from their elbow. But I was wrong. Or, at least, they were right. They released …
You know how draining it can be.
Yesterday, in a drug store here in Charlottesville, I spotted an in-store display that featured this large sign: Russell Stover, it seems, is getting into the energy bar business.

Rick Sincere says that I got a vote in Tuesday’s elections. Which is a shame, because I really like our treasurer and my former neighbor, Jennifer Brown.
After Kilgore fell victim to Bush’s kiss of death, AZ’s Rep. J.D. Hayworth says that he wouldn’t want Bush to campaign for him.

I’m told that the three precincts remaining to be counted in the Deeds/McDonnell AG race don’t actually exist. If that’s so, then all votes that need to be counted have been counted, which would leave Bob McDonnell the winner, by 0.08%, pending a recount, of course.
Watching the Deeds/McDonnell count.
I’ve checked the ongoing count of votes in the Attorney General’s race ten times today. Creigh Deeds and Bob McDonnell are neck and neck, with McDonnell leading by 1,486 votes with three precincts remaining to be counted. (Those three precincts may well include twice as many votes as the difference.) That number of votes has …
McClellan on Kaine victory.
In today’s press briefing, presidential spokesman Scott McClellan was met with a barrage of questions about Governor Elect Tim Kaine’s victory last night. Reporters wanted to know if President Bush is disappointed with Jerry Kilgore’s loss, if he must shoulder some of the blame due to his Monday-night appearance with Kilgore, and if he’s dragging …
