It does seem that Webb’s lead is shrinking bit by bit, but I am still very worried as to the final outcome. Both scattered reports across the networks and comments to this blog seem to be indicating that the majority of the remaining ballots are in democratic parts of the state. We can still hold out hope. We can still maintain control of the Senate!

As of 1:21am EST, the vote in Virginia is 99.47% counted with Jim Webb in the lead by a margin of a mere 1,524 votes - that is a margin of less than seven one-hundredths of one percent of the total vote in the state.
