As part of his "Indecision 2010: Revenge of the Fallen" election coverage, Stephen Colbert hosted Fifth District Democratic incumbent Tom Perriello last night as a guest on his satirical news show. Perriello was introduced as a counterexample to what Colbert called the Democratic Party’s current, Obama-distancing efforts—a campaign banner that Colbert referred to as "I Don’t Know Who This Guy Is 2010."
"I cannot think of one Democratic congressman running for reelection who has the guts to stand by what the Democrats have achieved," says Colbert, who then introduces Perriello as just that. Watch the segment below, then compare with last night’s debate with Republican candidate and Virginia Senator Robert Hurt.
