Don't count your chickens, Barry

Webb has closed to within 8,000 with 97% reporting. But look at the breakdown by precinct: With 78 precincts still to report, 74 come from counties that have gone for Webb. This includes three in populous Fairfax, one in Arlington (that goes for Webb 3-1), two each in Newport News and Norfolk City and a whopping 18 in Richmond City.

I think Webb can pull this out.

And as far as Maryland is concerned, the only reasons Steele looks like he's still in this is because the Democratic precincts haven't come in yet.
