How Tom Perriello’s race against Virgil Goode became an even match.
A year ago, if you asked me, I would have told you Tom Perriello had perhaps a 5% chance of defeating Rep. Virgil Goode here in the Fifth District. In fact, Perriello asked me what his odds were a little over a year ago, and that’s pretty much what I told him, albeit over the …

Rep. Virgil Goode has refused to debate challenger Tom Perriello on TV. Fifth District Republican Chair and Goode’s long-time right-hand man Tucker Watkins had committed Goode to a televised debate, but then Goode claimed that NBC-29 should have known better than to accept a commitment from him.

Perriello/Goode debate, poll.
Rep. Virgil Goode and Tom Perriello debated last night, at the Senior Statesman of Virginia’s standard biennial House candidate forum. Campaign advisor Lloyd Snook thinks Perriello came out on top, and prominent local writer and noted Quaker Helena Cobban basically agrees, but with significant reservations. Coincidentally, SUSA released a poll in the race today (which …
Contribute to Tom Perriello’s campaign.
