I just heard a Republican on C-Span say: 60,000 more votes in VA

for Attorney General and Lieutenant Governor than the race for Governor.

Do you think this is an indication of fraud?

dispell. I would assume you'll find the latter.

the election for Attorney General, but not the Governer? Doesn't seem too logical.

remember the candidate for governor in Virginia was not a bright
shining star on the local scene, he was GWB's campaign manager from
the 2004 elections. Local pols are quick to spot Brownies on their
home turf.

Results of number of voters according to the VA State Board of Elections shows a 40,528 difference in number of voters. Remember these facts about Virginia- this is not a ticket, per se. Each candidate runs on his own. Some criticism has been made that the co-ordinated campaign didn't do a good enough job of including the three names on yard signs, etc near the end of the race, thus many hadn't heard of Deeds or didn't associate him with the Democrats. Another big factor was Mayor (former Gov) Doug Wilder. In the last 2-3 weeks, he pointedly did not endorse Deeds, but did endorse Kaine. This had to do with an earlier scrap over guns and crimes, and Mayor Doug is pretty stubborn. I know I spoke with one African American voter when making calls the last weekend, and she said she wouldn't vote for Deeds. I'll bet lots of people felt that way based on Mayor Doug. Dumb.

Recount coming up soon-a nail biter to be sure.
