By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS -

RICHMOND — Former senator George Allen easily defeated three lesser-known conservative Republican challengers Tuesday in Virginia’s primaries, earning a shot at regaining the seat he lost six years ago in a race both parties consider critical to controlling the U.S. Senate.

With 99 percent of the vote counted, Allen had 65 percent of the vote. His nearest rival, tea party leader Jamie Radtke, had 23 percent; state legislator Bob Marshall had 7 percent; and Chesapeake minister E.W. Jackson had 5 percent.

Allen will face Democrat Tim Kaine, both former governors, in the Nov. 6 election. The former Democratic National Committee chairman was unopposed for his party’s nomination.
