They aren't particularly useful.

(2,097 posts)Blue Northern Virginia and Richmond are among teh last areas to report. Same thing happened with teh gov race last year. But it really wasn't supposed to be this close.

(16,201 posts)I nearly chewed my fingernails off watching the 2001 returns for Governor. I was very active in Mark Warner's campaign.

(1,103 posts)Warner should be running away with his race. If he is only winning by 2% it doesn't look good for other races in NC, NH, etc.

Proud Public Servant
(2,097 posts)By double digits. Even the last poll of the race, when these things traditionally narrow, had him up by 7. If he wins in a squeaker (or, god forbid, loses), it'll be interesting to hear how everyone got it so wrong.

(5,066 posts)Same thing happened In 2008 and 2012.
We go through the same thing every election. The media knows good and damn well that Nova always comes in late but they always try to play up that the democrat is doing poorly when the early returns come in. It's ridiculous.

(1,713 posts)This is one race that there's no need to be concerned about. Gillespie has never been within striking distance and there's no reason to think that changed overnight.

(34,496 posts)I'm amazed it is this close.
spooky3
(34,496 posts)That was true in 2012 also.
It looks as if other urban areas (all of which are purple or blue, until you get to the suburbs-to-exurbs) are also going to be late to report.

(1,384 posts)Is Va. Beach flipped. Va. Beach is largest city in the state. With the vote that's still out in NOVA. Warner should squeak by with 1 or 2% just using some quick math. It's gonna be very close, closer than it should be. He should still win but It's gonna be late.

(1,384 posts)Gillespie lead down to 1%. Good ole NOVA, late to the party as usual.

(1,512 posts)I've been voting there since 1996, and when it turns blue it does so quite late in the piece.
