Webb Takes Lead in Virginia




Webb, who has been behind all night, has taken the lead over Allen as the last few percent of precincts are coming in. Apparently the late precincts to report were African American neighborhoods in Richmond and a few precincts in liberal Arlington County.

If the lead holds, there will be a recount. In the meantime, control of the Senate might now rest on Missouri and Montana.
