Maybe it's the cheap pinot grigio, but I could swear MSNBC's showing Steele(R) losing with 57% of the vote.
Evidently I should switch to whiskey.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Ann, that's a ferret.
VA Senate: Allen has a narrow lead. But they're saying most of the not-yet-reported precincts are in NoVa. Except the 8th District -- the northernmost part of NoVa has virtually finished reporting.

I realized how scarred I am from the 2004 election, because I went to bed all hopeful, and woke up to disaster. And I mean that literally, even if at the time I thought it was only figuratively.

Yeah, I gotta stop watching the ever changing numbers for a little while.

I don't understand projections. For example, CNN projected Lieberman to win. But now, 30 minutes later, it's Lieberman 45% and Lamont 45% with 11% of the precincts reporting.

Theodosia, I'm actually trying to avoid election results. Hubs insists on watching. So I'm holed up with the computer, which isn't helping.
I may just insist on the TV with the TiVo, so I can watch one of the previously recorded movies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
For example, CNN projected Lieberman to win. But now, 30 minutes later, it's Lieberman 45% and Lamont 45% with 11% of the precincts reporting.
I think it's based on what they expect to see versus what they saw. Like, in New York, if upstate was leaning toward a Democrat state-wide, it would be a good bet that they'd win, since the city is so Democratic.

I'm basing off of what is running on the bottom of my screen during The Unit. So.....

CNN is calling Whitehouse over Chafee.

CNN was showing that too. Madness! Now if only some 30,000 votes would magically swing toward Jim Webb in Virginia...
