CBS: Kaine wins Virginia

CBS is projecting that Tim Kaine will be the next senator from Virginia.

The former Democratic National Committee chairman and popular former governor beat out another former Virginia governor, George Allen, to fill retiring Sen. Jim Webb’s Senate seat.

The race was one of the most highly contested, and more outside money was spent in the Old Dominion state than in any other Senate race in the country.
