This is really cool, I just hope that Chris Van Hollen is right and we can all say "Goode riddance!" :)
National Journal: Can you name a surprise race, one that the DCCC expects to win but isn't on anyone's radar?Van Hollen: A surprise race? It wouldn't be a surprise, now come on. OK, I'll tell you one that I don't think is on anyone's radar screen: Tom Perriello. It's the Virgil Goode seat in Virginia. Just because Virginia, as a state, as you know, is right in the middle of every crosscurrent in this election. I mean, it's a big state in the presidential races. People are already getting bombarded by robo-calls by both campaigns. Mark Warner's Senate race will be very much in play, so we think there are a lot opportunities in Virginia.
