When the Virginia returns start to come in they’re going to show Ed Gillespie leading, maybe by a little, maybe by a lot. DON’T PANIC. The southern part of the state (the redder portion) is going to get counted first. There are a lot of Democratic voters in Richmond and the Hampton Roads, but they’re probably a little outmatched by Republicans in those and the very red Southwestern portion. The Northern section, containing Fairfax, Loudoun and Arlington/Alexandria, will get counted DEAD last. Those votes will start factoring in around 10, 10:30pm.
So please, keep that in mind before you start jumping out open windows!
