In a related story, an anecdote is passed on that targets our own 5th District Representative Tom Perriello (and Gerry Connolly, another Virginia Democrat from up north somewhere):

"Polling analyst Bill Schneider ... recalled an old anecdote about George McGovern’s campaign manager calling a member of Congress in Ohio to say the Democratic nominee would be campaigning in his district. The lawmaker said he’d be visiting his mother in Florida. But, wait, I haven’t told you when, said the operative. It doesn’t matter when, said the congressman, I’ll be visiting my mother in Florida."

George McGovern.  Barack Obama.  Hmm.
