U.S.: ELECTION RESULTS! Bob McDonnell clobbers Creigh Deeds in Virginia

  • Just look at these poll numbers! Creigh Deeds never had a chance. And he did so poorly that the race could be called almost immediately after the polls close. Is this a bad sign for Obama? Who knows. All we know is that that whole Regent University paper controversy never once nicked McDonnell. Congrats, new Virginia governor. Let us know if you want to hang with the ShortFormBlog staff in Adams Morgan at some point. We imagine that place is totally your scene on Saturday night at about 2:30 a.m. source

U.S.: It’s election day 2009. Here’s a roundup of the various races.

  • N.Y. Thanks to Sarah Palin, New York’s 23rd district is on everyone’s mind. The GOP candidate dropped out over the weekend.
  • N.J. Jersey’s Jon Corzine is a fairly unpopular governor, but is still doing well in the race to keep his seat. It’s close, though.
  • Maine Maine voters get the chance to decide whether gay marriage should be legal in the state. It could be a huge precedent.
  • Va. Democrat Creigh Deeds is lagging behind Republican Bob McDonnell in Virginia; is this a dry run for elections in 2010? source

U.S.: The Virginia gubernatorial primary wasn’t even remotely close

  • 50% Vote percentage for Creigh Deeds, who came from behind to explode into the lead in a race largely filled with undecided voters
  • 26% Vote percentage for Terry McAuliffe, the Clinton pal who led early but barely did better than third-place Brian Moran, who got 24%. source
