Better Democrat Tom Perriello, who has a big deal of his Catholic centered approach to 'the common good', is now under attack by the lovely Republican Virgil Goode.  According to Goode, Tom's a New York lawyer, his skin is dark, he's bearded, and he's a liberal who loves amnesty for illegals and gay marriage.
