| Description | Democratic Senate hopeful James Webb today tapped the star appeal of Illinois Sen. Barack Obama to stir the passions of his party's base, rallying with 700 supporters before heading to Northern Virginia for a similar event with actor Michael J. Fox.
Obama told a cheering crowd at Virginia Union University that Webb is someone who "has fought for this country, who has led this country," and he urged supporters to drag "those uncles and cousins who don't vote to the polls" on Tuesday to help elect Webb.
Webb's opponent, incumbent Republican Sen. George Allen, had a more low-key day, accepting the endorsement of the Minutemen, a national organization that fights illegal immigration, at a news conference in Roanoke. He then went to the Philip Morris cigarette plant just south of Richmond to privately shake hands for an hour during a shift change.
