Blogger Lowell Feld recently interviewed Democrats Scott Robinson and Krystal Ball, who’re both running for the congressional seat currently held by Rep. Rob Wittman. You can read the whole thing here at Blue Virginia.
excerpts:

That’s what Colston Newton of the Northern Neck News just wrote in his interview with Scott Robinson:
