George Allen is poised to win Tuesday's GOP Senate primary in Virginia and move on to a fierce general-election fight with echoes of the presidential contest, as he goes up against a strong supporter of President Barack Obama.
A win on Tuesday would pit Mr. Allen, a former governor and senator trying to make a political comeback after a gaffe in a 2006 Senate race, against Tim Kaine, a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, for the seat of retiring Democratic Sen. Jim Webb.
