Virginia got a likely preview of next year’s US Senate race when George Allen and Tim Kaine debated in Richmond yesterday head-to-head.

Neither Kaine nor Allen has won his party’s nomination: both face primary opponents next June. Close to 50 Tea Party activists protested outside the debate, unhappy it excluded a Tea Party candidate and five other Senate hopefuls.
