U.S. Senate candidate James Webb kicked off his final campaign swing through Virginia this morning, telling supporters he is on the verge of a huge win that will help guarantee the Democrats control the Senate next year.

Webb could get a late boost from a third candidate in the race, Gail Parker, the Independent Green Party candidate. Parker, who is receiving about 2 percent of the vote in recent polls, holds conservative views on many issues but she is running as the only advocate in the race for a high-speed rail service between Virginia cities. Parker said last week she was considering dropping out and endorsing Allen or Webb. She later changed her mind, but she attended Webb's rally this morning in Roanoke. "I'm here today to offer support, encouragement and to say if folks can't vote for us because we are too conservative then, for goodness sakes, vote for positive change," Parker said.

She also pointed to the letters to the editor in this morning's Roanoke Times. Every letter was either supporting Webb or critical of Allen. The page also included a message from the paper's editors, which said they would have liked to run a pro-Allen letter but they hadn't received any in several days.
