...delusional when they get excited over this kind of news. They know that this issue energizes the Republican base. Countless articles, ranging from The New York Times to Republican blogs, have speculated that this court decision could change the momentum of Democratic Senate candidates Jim Webb in Virginia and Harold Ford Jr. in Tennessee, as well as House candidates throughout the contested Midwest...
...Notably, Webb, Ford, and many Midwestern Democrats do not even support gay marriage; Ford has said that he will vote for Tennessee’s constitutional ban on Tuesday, and Webb has said that he is content with the status quo.

In three Virginia cities, for example, electronic voting machines have inadvertently shortened the name of the Democratic candidate in one of the tightest Senate races in the nation. In Charlottesville, Falls Church and Alexandria, James H. Webb's name will appear on the ballot summary screen page simply as "James H. 'Jim'"--with no last name. Sounds like a crisis--except that the same thing happened in the June primary and Webb still...
