Yes, Virginia, you can go for Obama

Easily the most dramatic race of the evening was in Virginia. Early returns showed Barack behind. Slowly he made progress as the percent reporting crept upward, until suddenly Barack went up. Here are some numbers throughout the evening (in thousands of votes)

OBAMA	MCCAIN	Pct Rptg.	Obama margin
1283	1382	43%	-99
1330	1415	46%	-85
1482	1422	54%	60
1585	1552	66%	33
1660	1616	70%	44
1806	1823	86%	-17
1963	1967	96%	-4
2054	2026	95%	28
2098	2084	98%	14
2102	2089	99%	13

So, Barack was down about 100,000 votes just after 7pm, then up-and-down, but in the end, he was up. Great news for the new South.
