State Sen. R. Creigh Deeds of Bath County is the Democratic nominee for governor, winning a runaway victory over former Del. Brian J. Moran of Alexandria and Terry McAuliffe of McLean, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
With 69.8 percent of precincts reporting, Deeds had 101,278 votes (49.88 percent) to 53,117 for McAuliffe (26.16 percent) and 48,632 for Moran (23.95 percent).
Deeds’ victory sets up a rematch of the 2005 race for attorney general in which Republican Bob McDonnell won by 360 votes in the closest statewide election in state history.
