cForms adding excessive margins/padding and sidebar float issue

I’m currently redoing the homepage layout for a client using a cForm in my sidebar and two problem have arisen.

First is that the sidebar is not aligned with the posts on the left. Obviously a float drop issue although I’ve been completely unable to figure out the solution to it after numerous attempts (adding a float:right to the sidebar, changing the width of the narrowcolumn class in the content div, etc.)

Second is when I add the cForms widget I notice an excessive amount of either padding or margin is being added to the right of the form. You don’t notice it until you use the Outline Block Level Elements feature from Firefox’s Web Developers Toolbar. I don’t think that has an effect to the sidebar float issue but it should still be addressed.

Anyone have a solution to either or both problems?
