Here’s my way way out on a limb prediction – Arlington’s offices will all be filled with Democrats tomorrow.
Shocker.
Actually, the results will answer a few interesting (to me, anyway) questions –
1) In Arlington, we’ve got a pretty solid and decent liberal government in place. Which means that we can afford to experiment a bit. Will that result in more votes for the Republican (Mike McMenamin) or the Green Party guy (Josh Ruebner)?
2) What will be the extent of the undervote, if any, for Frank O’Leary?
3) Will Paul Ferguson crush Mark Kelly by an “ouch” margin, or will it go all the way to “daayum”?
Mike at Blueweeds
so – 75% of vote in Falls Church & 71% in Arlington. “ouch” or “daayum”?

I’d say that’s about the expected drubbing – so closer to “ouch” than not.
Answering my other questions
– no significant undervote for O’Leary (tho’ he did have significantly more write-ins than anyone else). That whole episode still makes me sad.
– and it looks like the Republicans did pretty well in the County Board election. Add McMenamin and Warren together, for nearly 30%, and you have something worth paying attention to.
And Josh Reubner, bless him, had as much visibility as any of the other candidates for a tiny fraction of their campaign budgets. Too bad that didn’t translate into much in the way of votes.
