Infinite MonkeysKind of makes you miss Dan Rather's metaphors for close races:
VA SEN [100% IN]
R- ALLEN 1,140,879 49.42%
D- WEBB 1,143,144 49.44%
Kind of.
Recount coming up...
UPDATE: Barone says there are still 4 precincts to count, plus potential absentee ballots.
By the way, the numbers I have above are gone from Drudge and the Virginia.gov website...
If MO and MT go Democrat (and they probably will), then VA decides it...
OK, in case you miss Dan:
This [race] is as tight as the rusted lug nuts on a '55 Ford."
"… it's Spandex tight."
"… closer than Lassie and Timmy."
"… shakier than cafeteria Jell-O."
"This race is as hot and tight as a too-small bathing suit on a too-long car ride home from the beach."
"Frankly, we don't know whether to run, to watch, or to bark at the moon."

J. D. Hayworth went down like a mob informant in the Hudson.
