A University of Virginia law student and liberal blogger named Mike Stark showed up Tuesday at a Charlottesville event for George Allen, the Republican incumbent in a tight race for reelection, and started shouting questions about whether Allen spit on his first wife, a charge that has appeared on Internet blogs but is totally unproven.

In the partisan world of political websites, there are few undecideds; we are not exactly a society of people who surf the Web to find arguments that we disagree with.
