On my way to class today I couldn’t help but be reminded of Election Day for the U.S. Congress. Numerous Tom Perriello campaigners holding signs and passing out flyers were in every direction. At one pm today, only a quarter of the registered voters had actually voted (“22,773 of 69,235 registered voters”). Sad but true. Hopefully more people have voted absentee like I have. The question is, who’s the competition and where has he been? Robert Hurt seems to have shied from fairly democratic Charlottesville to me…Even the Charlottesville Pavilion stood as a political ground for Parriello on Friday, October 29th when President Obama rallied for Perriello.
What do I think about the election? I think that Perriello’s campaigners are working to gather a bunch of uninformed college kids. I don’t think the Republican Party has made enough of a presence to keep the Charlottesville public from making uninformed decisions. Now go inform yourself and vote before it is too late (7pm)!
