Virginia Senate: Webb Still Leading

This situation is still in flux, but it looks pretty good for Webb, still leading by about 7,000 votes. Vote canvassing will be done by Friday, so we should have firmer news by Monday. If it does end up in a recount--and Allen's camp has been conspicuously quiet as to whether they'll push for it--the news is even better for Webb. But it will take weeks to find out.

Historically in Virginia, recounts have never produced more than a 20-30 vote flip for any candidate. So, barring any underhanded maneuvers--oops, barring any more underhanded GOP maneuvers in manipulating this vote, the momentum definitely stays with Webb.
