HORSERACE

Maybe It's Time for Margi Vanderhye to Take a Long Vacation

Presuming this statement from the campaign of Barbara Comstock is accurate, the closeness of the delegate race in McLean, Virginia seems to be bothering Democrat Margi Vanderhye. Because nothing screams "confidence" like a candidate threatening the high school volunteers of the opposition:

“This evening at a McLean grocery store, Delegate Margi Vanderhye bullied and threatened local high school students who were distributing campaign literature for Republican candidate Barbara Comstock.

“A group of Langley High School students were volunteering this evening distributing campaign literature and Vanderhye began berating the students and told them she was going to report them to their principal.  Vanderhye then proceeded to follow the students around the parking lot and told them that if they distributed the literature she was going to remove it.  Her husband also joined her in taking the literature and disposing of it. 

“Vanderhye’s meltdown and attack on high school students volunteering in a campaign and engaging in their first amendment rights is an outrage.  These students were shocked that a public official would threaten and attempt to intimidate them in an effort to prevent them from engaging in their political and first amendment rights.” 

Report them for what, precisely?

And who's Vanderhye's legal adviser, Dede Scozzafava?
