Excellent answer by Rep. Tom Perriello (D-5th) on this question at the 5th CD debate the other day. Independent candidate Jeffrey Clark also gives a serious and articulate answer, although I completely disagree with him. As for Republican Robert Hurt’s answer…oh wait, Robert Hurt wasn’t there. Where was he? Perhaps he was hard at work developing legislation (possibly to protect his district from Bob McDonnell’s cockamamie schemes) for the next Virginia General Assembly session, since that’s where he’s going to be working come 2011? 🙂
