Sooooooo want to believe it...
Tom Perriello is up 51-49 with 90% of the vote counted; I can't believe Goode won't hold on to his seat, but making him sweat it out was a helluva lot more than anyone had a right to expect...
UPDATE (9:57 PM):  According to CNN.com, Tom is up by 800 votes with 94 percent of the vote counted.  I believe Charlottesville's votes have already been counted, so I fear this is going to be close but no cigar...
10:15 PM:  Up 1100 with 95 percent?  Oh, please...
Oh, btw, Warner beats Gilmore 63-36.  Don't let this horrific embarrassment discourage you, Jim!  Run for governor next year!
10:30 PM: Tom's up by 700 with 96% counted.  I agree with my bro's Braveheart reference, HOLD!  HOLD!!
And I appreciate how CNN changed the district from red (they had called it for Goode) back to gray.  This might not get decided tonight, and probably won't before I head off to bed...
Final update at 11:10 Kos says Tom's still up 500 with 98% of the vote; didn't see confirmation.  And now I'm not going to see anything but the insides of my eyelids.
Stayed awake long enough to see history made, though.  Congratulations, Barack.
