Could Green Party Cost Democrats The Senate?

With the results of the Virginia senate race too close to call, Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., spoke at a victory party for Democratic challenger Jim Webb, expressing his frustration with a third party candidate.

Indendent Green Party candidate Glenda Parker captured 26,048 votes, or 1.1 percent, in a race that hangs slightly in favor of Webb by less than 8,000 votes.

Moran, didn't mention Parker by name, but said she could end up being the Ralph Nadar of this election. "That's the spoiler," Moran said of the independent candidate who he viewed as taking votes that would have more likely gone to the Democrats without the third party choice.
