Live-blogging at Marriott with GOP ... # 21

Barb just brought conservative activist and former Christian Coalition leader Ralph Reed over to meet me. She got to know him when she lived in Georgia and was involved in the Republican Party there and he was the Republican Chairman of the state. She said he worked hard and made a big diference in the state.

"Virginia Republicans have left the wilderness." Carl Cameron, Fox News Channel

New Jersey still too close to call.

Chuck Slemp just came by to say hello and let me know he just became a dad. Congrats, Chuck. I first met him in 2004 when he was Jerry Kilgore's driver into 2005 and then went back to school to get his law degree. He was a blogger for a while but said he just doesn't have time anymore. Great to see him!

I have seen so many staffers from campaigns 2000-2007 that I worked with over the years. They are great young people, the future of the Republican Party.

Fox News is on the big TVs now reporting on all races.

New York looks like they don't have many precincts in yet.

Fox News is now reporting Chris Christie won New Jersey!!!! Fraud did not win the day.

What a great day! Lynn, thanks for the blow by blow. I've really enjoyed it and it's been wonderful keeping up with what's happening. Thanks to you and all those who worked so hard to take Virginia back. I just got a great text from one of my sons (I believe I shared with you that they are in TX still) that said, "Welcome back to red statehood." Thought you would get a kick out of that.

Thanks for passing that along, Joy. It is such a party atmosphere here ... it's been a long time coming in Virginia. It's nice to be RED again. :) Thanks for your help and support. Together ... we WILL make a difference!

Christie just won New Jersey! Do you REALLY think Obama is watching basketball?

Good one, Bob! Greg said he probably is just to avoid reality.
