Perriello, Nye still fighting

Just days out from the Nov. 2 congressional election, national Democrats are pumping more money into the campaigns of two Democratic incumbents in Virginia who remain in difficult campaign fights to hold on to their seats.

Freshman Rep. Glenn Nye, who represents the Norfolk-centered 2nd District, got $90,000 from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for the campaign’s home stretch. Rep. Tom Perriello, another freshman from the sprawling 5th District, which stretches from north of Charlottesville to the North Carolina border, got $140,000.
