Well, it wasn't really a load of votes, but Kathryn Lopez is
reporting that longtime national conservative activist
Barbara Comstock won a very close and very important victory over
a tough incumbent Democrat for a seat in the VA House of
Delegates. Barbara is a true conservative, with experience on the
Hill, and as communications director for the wonderful Ashcroft
Justice Department, and as a communications executive in the
conservative firm of Corallo-Comstock with sometime AmSpecBlog
contributor Mark Corallo, one of the best in the business and a
close personal friend. Barbara's win comes despite a last-minute
barrage of negative TV ads (imagine the cost of TV for a mere
state Delegate race in the expensive DC suburbs!) trying to paint
Barbara as a female Torquemada. This is a pickup in a Dem-leaning
district that conservatives nationwide should celebrate.
