Goode grief

Virginia candidates split on personal transit choices

Posted by Kate Sheppard at 11:08 AM on 09 Jul 2008

Rep. Virgil Goode, the incumbent Republican in Virginia's 5th District, appeared in a Scottsville, Va. Fourth of July parade last week accompanied by a Hummer H3. His opponent in this year's House race, Tom Perriello (D), appeared on a float pulled by a biodiesel-fueled tractor. Perriello fans put together a video highlighting the candidates' automotive choices:

How depressing.

One candidate towed by a Hummer, the other by a vehicle fueled by food and the planet's last carbon sinks.
