Webb: Democrats Will Take Back House, Senate

"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.

In his closing stump speech, Webb is highlighting his early opposition to the war in the Iraq, the need to close the gap between the rich and the poor and, as he says, "standing up to this president."

"We need accountability," said Webb, who spent the weekend campaigning in the mountain towns of southwest Virginia.

Webb also accused Allen of misrepresenting his positions on illegal immigration, taxes and same-sex marriage. Webb told the crowd he opposes amnesty and wants to crack down on employers who hire illegal immigrants. He said opposes raising taxes on "wage earners" but wants to close corporate tax loopholes.

On same-sex marriage, Webb said he personally opposes gay marriage. But Webb added he will vote against a proposed state constitutional ban gay marriage on the ballot tomorrow, calling it "a bad amendment."

But Warner and Kaine zeroed in on Webb's background as combat veteran in Vietnam and secretary of the Navy.

Referencing how Webb has a 24-year-old son serving in the Marines in Iraq, Warner said, "We've got someone who not only talks the talk, but walks the walk."

"He is the real deal," Warner said.

Kaine referenced Webb's nonfiction novels that outline the horrors of war, which Allen has been critical of because they included some sex-laced passages.

But Kaine said policy makers "would be making better policy if people in Washington really read his books and understood these things."

In Roanoke, Democratic activists say they are energized and will be working hard to get out the vote in the normally conservative Shenandoah Valley.

Kate Berding, 50, of Roanoke, said she has been making hundreds of phone calls in support of Webb in recent weeks.

"From the calls I make, we've got it," Berding said. "People want change."

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.

"We know what we want to do," Webb said when he arrived at Norfolk's airport. "We want to bring enormous leadership to Washington. We've been talking, debating and now its time to get out of the vote."
