Why won't Virgil Goode speak?

My daily commute usually affords me the time to listen to NPR's "Morning Edition". The local news break has been devoted to Virginia congressional candidates over the past week, and I learned that Al Weed was interviewed briefly yesterday, which I missed. Today was the day they were supposed to talk to Virgil Goode, but he refused repeated requests for an interview (their words).

Perhaps VA-5 constituents should e-mail Mr. Goode and politely ask why he's such an unbelievable pussy.
