Today's Roanoke Times endorses Tom Perriello in the 5th CD and Sam Rasoul in the 6th CD.
Regarding the 5th, the Roanoke Times says that Virgil Goode "gives conservatism a bad name." I couldn't agree more. In contrast, Tom Perriello is "an intelligent, articulate, caring individual who has done important work in Afghanistan and Darfur." This one's a no-brainer, frankly.
As to the 6th, this one's a huge longshot, the Roanoke Times writes, "after 16 years of Goodlatte's support for a discredited conservative ideology, Rasoul's fresh, principled campaign provides sufficient reason for voters to seriously consider taking that step." What the heck, give it a shot - Rasoul's GOT to be better than Goodlatte!
In Northern Virginia, 11th CD Democratic candidate Gerry Connolly has picked up every major newspaper endorsement in the district, including The Washington Post, the Potomac News and Messenger, the Connections Newspapers, the Fairfax Times, and the South County Chronicle.
