I understand where you are coming from Jock, but for me this comparison, from the Allen campaign, sets out pretty clearly why it matters that Jim Webb is elected:

There is one simple reason why issues like gay marriage and abortion rights keep appearing on state ballots to coincide with elections, and it is because it is part of the modern Republican strategy of turning out the rabid right wing religious vote.

...who cares what Senator makes the arduous journey all the way to DC from Virginia. They all deserve to hang their heads in shame. Whoever wins will have been elected with a substantial number of votes that also voted for this bigotted bullshit - even Webb will have to stomach the fact that he has a hundred thousand bigot ballots. In the words of that ancient Arab curse: "May all their children dishonour them with their low slung pants".
