How Many Virginians Read Instapundit?

Enough, apparently, to convince Sen. George Allen's re-election team to advertise on the Blogfather's national website.

Or maybe there's another reason ...uh... a second reason.

Actually, the ad suggests a reason why Allen's suddenly distracting re-election campaign may be salubrious for the theoretically postponed nurturing of his presidential ambitions.

Now, Allen can easily do some base-tending-to without having to explain why, and his campaign can also prospect for small donors -- openly.

Dems DO want to stop Allen. Allen thus has Dems as a foil to (a) raise money and (b) get his name out to conservatives (or libertarians) nationally.

Allen's ad is pathetically uninteresting and Instapundit's ad rates are surely expensive. I bet Allen is losing money on the proposition in some vain attempt to garner attention among the netroots.
