CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia (Reuters) – U.S. President Barack Obama exhorted voters to keep faith in his policy agenda in a campaign stop on Friday for a Virginia congressman he has praised as one of his Democratic Party's most courageous politicians.
Obama flew to central Virginia for a rally on behalf of Tom Perriello, a first-term Democratic congressman who is in a tough re-election fight, two years after winning his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives by just 727 votes.
"In four days, you have the chance to set the direction of this state and of this country, not just for the next two years, but for the next 10 years and the next 20 years. You can defy the conventional wisdom," Obama told a crowd of several thousand people in downtown Charlottesville.
The Friday evening event was the first time during the midterm election campaign that Obama has appeared at a rally for an individual House candidate, a White House spokesman said.
On November 2, Americans will vote for all 435 members of the House and 37 of the 100 members in the Senate.
Most polls have Perriello trailing his Republican rival, Virginia state Senator Robert Hurt, by anywhere from 1 percent to 6 percent.

The local Tea Party refers to Perriello as “One-Term Tom.”
Yup, He sure seems like a regular guy.
Robert Hurt for Congress

” Perriello seems to be a twerp.”
Remember last March when Perriello was claiming that Tea Party
people had cut the “ gas lines “ to his brother’s house ?
As a payback for voting for Obamacare ?
The nuts at CNN and MSNBC and the left went berserk ranting
about the right wing
Tea Partiers who tried to kill
Perriello’s brother and his family by causing his house to explode.
When it was actually a line from the Rhino tank on his backyard Weber grille
that was allegedly “ tampered “ with .
Perriello has a rather worried look on his face. LOL.
Anybody else think that this is just a weird race for the marxist in chief to waste his time on at the 11th hour?
Any polling for this race?
Hurt is hot looking...
