You dems might learn some grace and decorum from Allen where recounts are concerned.  You cannot name ONE democract who would have refused to demand a recount in the same situation.  You guys are more “I will hold my breath until you give me what I want” type of people.
BTW Allen beat Allen.  He completely blew this election without any help from anyone.  With that he also blew his chances to ever run for President.  Hell even Kerry could have been Allen if he had been running against(unless he tried to be him before he ran against him)

So ...  I saw the Commonwealth of Virginia result for Senate, as reported in this article .... then early this evening CST about 6 pm .... I go to that page, and they report that

Precincts Reporting: 2464 of 2599 (94.81%)

precincts have UNREPORTED SINCE THIS AM????@??

i checked this at 7:52 pm CST again ....  fewer precincts???!?!?!  maybe i’m making a dumb error in reading the morning results compared to now ...

http://sbe.virginiainteractive.org/

note .... these are unofficial results and were this am too .... but what’s up?

they supposedly have a bi-partisan board of elections .. but someone running that web site has some ‘splainin’ to do, as Ricky Ricardo might have said to Lucy

what IS going on .. did i read it wrong?  or what?

besides thanking allen for saying ‘macaca’ & thus energizing progressives, webb ought to thank drudge for saying that heterosexual activity is filthy & he ought to thank mrs dick cheney for saying that it’s all right for her to write about lesbianism but not for webb to write about the kind of sex that rednecks think is all right

mark foley & ted haggard also show how republicans have no self awareness when it comes to the sexuality they project, but whether they helped webb much is doubtful

had webb been running for office in nyc, for instance, questions of sexuality wouldn’t matter because rednecks aren’t thick on the ground

Never in Virginia history has an election night result for a Senate seat been overturned by a recount. Virginia knows how to get it right the first time.

If indeed it is true that Virgina votes 100% electronically with no paper trail then the recount will be over after the mere click of a switch, cruntch of a processor, and will be identical to the original.

This, of course, is the problem (I do not care who wins this election, as the candidates are nearly twins).  Any election that cannot be audited on paper might as well be considered “stolen”. 

Until we correct this VERY basic facet of our election process, we will never know the true results of any election.  And, the two wings of our one-party-system will continue to dominate our nation’s political agenda.

To correct something you wrote: November 27 is the date that Virginia’s INITIAL vote count will be certified, not the recount. In fact, there cannot be a recount until after that date, and then only if one is requested.
