they base it on which way the remaining precincts lean, but thats also why thy're fairly inaccurate in these predictions.

If Webb loses, I hope this winds up in the courts after the bullshit that has been going on in VA with voter intimidation and suppression ... the fact that Webb couldn't get his full name on the ballot in certain areas is ridiculous as well.
