  Augusta County's 26 precincts have all reported.
  Bob McDonnell won 77.46 percent of the vote - and that's a lower percentage than Bill Bolling or Ken Cuccinelli. [...]

• NY 23 - Gold in them hills

  Jude Seymour's blog highlights this story from the New York Daily News.
  I liked this quote from the conservative consultant helping Doug Hoffman.
  "We knew we had tapped a vein of ore; we didn't know it was the El Dorado." [...]

• Technology makes election day fun

  I'm enjoying the view from the internet of the Elections. You can feel the anguish dripping from most Democratic posts.
  Is the election called at 7:01 p.m.? Or do they wait until 7:30 p.m.' [...]

• Election Day triple play - Shannon

  Closing out the triple play is a song for Steve Shannon. And remember, "pick up the signs from your front yard."
  
  Another vote is at end
  Dems were so tired again
  We can't believe we're in the cellar
  
  We hardly know what to say
  The tide should have [...]

• Man, 2010 going to be great also

  Just read Ben Tribbett's analysis of the election and Deeds' faults.
  So Democrats need to excite young voters. How? If they look at what's coming, they'll see higher taxes and new laws to require them buy insurance - which will be used to subsidize union retirement plans.
  The young [...]

• Words not Deeds

  Since the "Deeds not Words" slogan will be available in a few hours, I thought I'd change it up a little to sum up Commentary Magazine's reaction to this Washington Post column.
  Almost all talk and superficial items. Very few concrete deeds. Nothing special for Obama, just stuff any' [...]

• Election Day triple play - Lt. Gov.

  Continuing our Election Day song parodies, here's the one for Lt. Governor candidate Jody Wagner.
  
  Jody, Jody, Jody, Jody
  Your begging sure won't get my vote
  Jody, Jody, Jody, Jody
  I'm sorry but your campaign didn't float
  
  You had a job with Tim Kaine
  Sure budgeting is a' [...]

• Thanks for the Frum update

  Checking NRO's Corner, Mark Steyn mentioned that David Frum's site has undergone a name change.
  It's no longer New Majority, but now Frum Forum.
  Which was a bigger waste of money? The Republicans giving money to Dede Scozzafava, or investors giving Frum money for No longer New Majority?[...]

• Election Day triple play

  Guess it's the last time to highlight my song parodies of the Democratic ticket. First up, Creigh Deeds. This song from the Guess Who popped into my head "She's Come Undone" and the parody words flowed.
  
  Deeds' come undone
  He didn't know what he was talkin' bout
  And when' [...]

  The Saints stayed undefeated, so it's two teams at 7-0.
  The Saints play Carolina next Sunday, while the Colts take on the Texans.
  We still have a chance of two 18-0 teams meeting in the Super Bowl. [...]
