sick-blogging Virginia
I'm too sick to live blog the election results. I can barely watch the damn TV. Anyway, Obama won big in Virginia, while Huckabee was so far ahead of McCain for the past hour that I thought he'd won it, but now (with 24% of the vote in) McCain has inched slightly ahead of Huckabee. (46%-45%). As usual, the race is wild. I'm sure Hillary is not a happy camper. (I have a serious head cold with chills, fever, and cough. Yechh! I hate sudafed, and these awful drugs with symptoms worse than the disease.) 8:12 -- It's a virtual tie between McCain and Huckabee, which means that the final results could take a long time. In the long term, I don't think it will be as disastrous as it may seem now for McCain to lose some of these states to Huckabee (who says, "This is not a coronation of John McCain.") It may sound counterintuitive, but the conservatives are still very sore at McCain, and if he is seen as an invincible juggernaut plowing them under with victory after victory, I think they'll be more likely to bear a grudge, and sit it out in November. I think if they continue to beat up on him via Huckabee, and he shows a little more humility, the conservatives may be more forgiving. 8:30 -- Fox just projected McCain the winner. He's winning by a margin of 47% to 45% with 49% counted. (The remaining counties are in Northern Virginia and are expected to come in heavily for McCain.) posted by Eric on 02.12.08 at 08:02 PM |
