Yes, we handed Santorum his ass on a plate. It wasn't even close. Weldon, too, in favor of a guy I firmly believe will be running for Senate some day-- Joe Sestak (http://www.joesestak.com/).

I strongly suspect that the Supreme Court will strike down the anti-civil-union amendments, even if, I grant you, they probably wouldn't at present strike down the anti-gay-marriage ones. Roberts is a conservative, but so, supposedly, were the ones Eisenhower appointed. (With Scalito, mmm, yeah. No room for doubt.)

I would not be surprised if Roe v. Wade turns out to hang on the Virginia Senate results. A switch in committee chairs has such an effect on whose nomination what makes it to the floor for a vote.
