In Virginia, State Senator Creigh Deeds has defeated former Democratic National Committee chair Terry McAuliffe in the primary for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. Deeds will face Republican nominee Bob McDonnell in November’s election. McAuliffe lost despite a high-profile candidacy that included campaigning from former President Bill Clinton. McAuliffe recently faced controversy after consumer advocate Ralph Nader said McAuliffe tried to bribe him to stay off the presidential ballot in 2004.
