The Virginia netroots is partying hard today, as their top 2007 project — ousting State Senator Benjamin Lambert — was succcessfully completed last night.
Trial lawyer A. Donald McEachin upset 30-year veteran state Sen. Benjamin J. Lambert III yesterday in a Democratic primary in the Richmond area.
Lambert was supposedly a Democrat, yet he shocked the Virginia political establishment last October with this:
A senior Democratic state lawmaker endorsed Republican Sen. George Allen’s bid for reelection Tuesday, after having earlier criticized Democrat James Webb’s position on affirmative action.
State Sen. Benjamin J. Lambert III (Richmond), who is black, praised Allen in a letter on his senate stationery released yesterday by the Allen campaign.
Getting rid of entrenched, fake-ass Democrats is going to be hard work, but it is doable. If you ask me – making sure Jack Markell beats John Carney is part of this project.
