Democratic Rep. Tom Perriello, a congressional candidate for our district this midterm election, appeared on Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report on Wednesday, October 27th. Host Stephen Colbert quizzed Perriello via a satellite interview in a short segment filled with a little information and a lot of comedy. The two discussed Perriello’s views regarding the current economic situation and what needs to be done to help the millions of families struggling. Colbert also mentioned the University of Virginia and said that a good idea to get the college kids’ vote would be to support the legalization of medical marijuana. Perriello didn’t seem to be in favor but acknowledged the importance of young voters, particularly those at the university. To see the entire interview, go to:
