It's Webb in VA

There might not be a recount after all.

MSNBC declared Webb the winner because Webb declared himself the winner? Allen has a right to a recount and I have found nothing yet that says he has conceded. Am I missing something?

AP says he may concede tomorrow...7k's a big gap.

The florida election had way more votes in it (way smaller margin of about 350). When they recounted only 57 votes changed...and they went the OPPOSITE way. Ie: the guy who asked for the recount lost votes.

The chance of making up 7000 votes is slim to none.

Chances are there will be a recount and it could take until x-mas, but it doesn't look good for the GOP.

Nov. 8, 2006 — Democrat Jim Webb will be the winner in the Virginia Senate race, tipping the scales in both houses of Congress to the Democrats, according to The Associated Press.

An AP survey that tabulated the votes from Virginia's 134 localities found that Webb would win the race. That would give Democrats the sixth seat they need to win control of the Senate.

Republican incumbent Sen. George Allen's campaign has not commented on the AP report, but some sources suggested he might concede the race as early as Thursday.

I'll have a bit of respect for him if he conceeds.
