Senator Jim Webb
(D-VA) will not seek reelection next year and in doing so avoids a likely confrontation with his former opponent George Allen:Allen will face at least one other candidate in a GOP primary but is considered the favorite against potential challengers that include Richmond Tea Party President Jamie Radtke, state Del. Bob Marshall and Corey Stewart, chairman of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors.H/T - Swing State Project
There is no clear favorite to run in Webb’s stead, but Democratic names mentioned previously include Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine, who is the former governor of Virginia, and former Rep. Tom Perriello, who was defeated for re-election in November.
Roll Call Politics rates this race a Tossup.
