(795 posts)It seems like their support comes from different sides. Perrillio is getting support from National politicians and Northam from Local ones. Since I am confused by it, I think there must be something more going on that leads to Podesta and Plouffe and Obama staffers liking Perrillio. You might consider that the story you understand might not be the whole story. Perriello not so anti-choice and Northam with some other warts. Few races have pure candidates and this one where people are lining on both sides must have two sides even if its just electability.
After edit. Someone sent me a link to an article that might point to Northam's warts. Northam evidently has said he voted for George W Bush twice. Again, I don't know a lot about him but just on the basis of the split, I was pretty sure that it was not a Bernie issue and that there are some issues with Northam as well.
