Perriello Represents the Fightin' 5th on the Colbert Report

Tom did a good job! (0.00 / 0)

Hope this motivates more in his district to show up and vote for him.

coaching needed? (0.00 / 0)

Tom needs to loosen up in these interviews, break character from a strictly focused campaign, step back and enjoy himself. The same problem with his earlier appearance on Maddow (MSNBC). He can have a normal conversation without getting all his talking points out there and come across as more likable. Tthis is a comedy show and he's not actually talking to voters in his district (for the most part).

I thought the same thing... (0.00 / 0)

You come off as REALLY unlikeable when you go on a comedy show and aren't funny.  I'm sure his staff and consultants told him to stick strictly to his talking points, as if anyone in the 5th watched that episode to be persuaded by Tom as to why they should vote for him.

I know the election is a few days away, but don't agree to go on a national comedy news show and act like you've never laughed in your life.
