Analysis: An early return from Henrico County
I said earlier to keep an eye on Henrico County in the Richmond suburbs, which in recent years has trended Democratic. It might still.
But the first precinct to report in there is a Republican one -- and it's running more Republican than four years ago.
It's the Dorey precinct. Jerry Kilgore took not quite 58 percent of the vote there four years ago. Tonight, Bob McDonnell has 64 percent of the vote there.
Those are the kinds of trends we want to look at through the evening.

In the past, the Roanoke Times web site had running totals for all the races in the area. Where are they? I want to see my local board of supervisors results. Where are they this year? I couldn't care less about this blog "analysis" stuff of the governors race that was over months ago.
