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.
