VA BLOWOUT, NOVA STAYS BLUE?
By Greg L | 2 November 2010 | Gerry Connolly, Keith Fimian, Fairfax County, Manassas Park, US Congress, Prince William County | 30 Comments
The election results are coming in, and they’re looking like a solid drubbing for the socialist agenda of Obama, Reid and Pelosi. Three of four congressional contests go to the GOP, and the Fimian - Connolly race is headed for a recount.
7:00PM Early projections: Wolf (VA10) and Wittman (VA01) cruise to victory.
7:08PM Projection: Hurt (VA05) and Rigell (VA02) win. (PICKUP R x2)
9:05PM Projection: Griffith (VA09) wins. (PICKUP R)
9:16PM: Leeper, Naddoni, Banks & Treuting win in Manassas Park.
9:21PM: Projection: Republicans take House Majority, Nancy Pelosi is FIRED.
9:43PM: Projection: Democrats retain majority in U.S. Senate.
9:51PM: Fimian and Connolly still running very close - 122 votes separate with 21 precincts left.
10:07PM: Jim Moran refuses Patrick Murray’s concession call. Classy right up to the end, moron.
10:15PM: 818 votes separate Connolly and Fimian, but remaining precincts are Fairfax and absentee.
10:23PM: Projection: Fimian falls short of knocking out Connolly.
11:15PM: State Board of Elections tweets that 26,000 absentee ballots yet to be counted but their website shows all absentee precincts have reported. Something strange going on, results may shift in this race after SBE gets their act together.
12:25AM: SBE now says the absentee ballots in VA-11 have been counted and are included in the totals. Two Fairfax precincts are “locked down” due to voting machine problems, and provisional ballots are yet to be counted. What a debacle. A recount is definitely called for here.
More results below the fold…

Obama-backed Democrat loses House bid in Virginia.Tom Perriello is OUT!
Who is this DeCarlo guy? If the votes for him are the difference between Fimian losing and winning, I’ll be infuriated with this guy and his ego.
“The same congressman who refused to accept military service as public service has also refused a concession call from his opponent he previously insulted.
A senior aide to Republican House candidate Patrick Murray in Virginia’s eighth congressional district, told Fox News that when Murray called Democratic incumbent Jim Moran to concede, the Moran camp refused to take his call.”

Jim Moran is scum. Scum representing parasitic scum.
Connolly - Fimian will be a recount. Bet on it.
I can not believe Fimian is not winning. What is going on?
what is the expected number of absentee ballots in the 11th? How many went out, and how many of those were for the Military?
I too think a recount may be in order.
Fimian HAS to win via absentee ballot, right?
Connolly has given a victory speech. All the absentees are in and Connolley is ahead and the only precints outstanding are Dem precints in Fairfax. We lost because of Prince William. If we had nominated Herrity we would have won in a cakewalk.
You lost because of Fairfax County.
No, we got Fimian nominated. If it was up to Fairfax it would have been Herrity and he would have won easily. We blew it in Prince William. Herrity is an experienced conservative who know the issues. Keith, nice a guy as he is, never learned the issues, and ran a poor campaign. This was a real chance to win this seat and we blew it.
Boehner is crying on TV.
Isn’t it great!
Connolly will win because of Fairfax County. Pat them all on the back. More of the same.
Fox 5 DC news interviewed the Virginia Board of Elections over the phone re the VA11 issue around 11 or 1130 pm.
She stated that 26,000 absentees are not counted, provisional ballots have not been counted, and there are two precincts (Lorton and Saratoga) with defective machines that are “locked down”.
There is more coming on this, maybe tomorrow we will find out more.
No victory for either side yet.
Thanks for the update.
Obama’s senate seat went Republican.
Wed Am: I just encountered one of Connolly’s campaign workers at Dulles airport. He had finished his “work” here in Virginia and was heading home to Oregon.
Congrats to Brian and the others even though I will most likely not be living here much longer. Probably going to ditch the house soon. Can no longer stand living in the ghetto unfortunately. It has taken its toll on me. Maybe Brian can do something about the overcrowding in the house next to mine and I might consider sticking around.
Now is the time to contact Wolf/Wittman and remind them that they were not elected to compromise with the hubcap stealer from Chicago.
Deguello!
I wonder if obama is paying attention now after his party got hit pretty hard in the backside yesterday. He will either run to the left, and really give whining five year olds everywhere a bad name, or just maybe listen to someone who is not a communist and realize he has to change. I’m betting on the former.
As for NOVA staying blue, I’ll take that in exchange for the rest of the Commonwealth turning back to the right side.
Connelly should give Christopher F. DeCarlo a big fat wet kiss. He Ross Perot’ed Kieth Fimian.
I am betting that if the republicans really think the message is “stop obama” then obama will win in 2012, cuz the whining five-year-olds will have earned the bad name on their own.
I just can’t believe Reid won! What a frickin’ joke! Those people deserve the “she” man in office. What a bunch of losers! And West VA just voted themselves out of jobs. How stupid can people be???????
Anon,
It’s not just about stopping obama, it could be any wacky lefty in office putting forth failed policies that would need to be stopped. If obama was smart( a huge if, he would understand that while it’s one thing to sit around with fellow anti-Americans talking how they would like to ruin the Country, it’s another thing to try it). After Tuesday, I’d say the majority of voters feel the same. obama got spanked, because as he pointed out, while he was not on the ballet, his policies were.
on the ballet, citizen? a dance cared was it?
citizen, your logic is why Obama will get four more years. Ya gotta work WITH whoever is there and MAKE PROGRESS or you look like a petulant child stamping your feet. Charles Krauthammer nailed it. You don’t get it.
The people kicked the Reps out, then they kicked the Dems out. They will not not hesitate to kick out the Reps again.
Most people like some of the health bill, most don’t like all of it. The solution is to stop the bill?
