(note, although a run off may occur, Filler-Corn is the apparent winner of the election discussed below)

Democrats Lead In Virginia Special Election

Some good news for Democrats outside of Texas tonight. Democrat Eileen Filler-Corn has a 42-vote lead over Republican Kerry Bolognese in a special election for the House of Delegates in Virginia. Turnout was light, with just over 10,000 votes cast.

If the result holds, it would represent a hold for Democrats in the Northern Virginia seat. The previous incumbent had won a special election of his own for the state Senate, replacing the Republican who became state Attorney General. Republicans had thought they could take this seat; Democrats have now won two races in jurisdictions that Bob McDonnell (R) carried handily in his gubernatorial romp last November.

5. And that's not all the good electoral news for Dems.

Equally impressive was Billy Bob McGoo's victory in a town council special election in South Succotash, Kentucky.
