HORSERACE

Looking Deeper at Virginia's Results . . .

On the one hand, the Democratic-heavy regions of Virginia are probably among the last to report. On the other hand, the turnout in Democratic areas was pretty low today, at least according to anecdotes.

I mention this because Governor-elect Bob McDonnell is at 60.57 percent to Creigh Deeds 39.33 percent, with a little over 54 percent of precincts reporting; Lieutenant Gov. Bill Bolling is at 58.71 percent to Wagner's 41.23 percent and Attorney General–elect Ken Cuccinelli is at 59.66 percent to Steve Shannon's 40.26 percent.

Maybe they'll tighten some, but we're not at those laughable single-digit percentages of precincts anymore.

By the way, with half of Bath County's precincts reporting, the turnout rate is 22 percent.
