Republican Bob McDonnell is the winner of the Virginia governor's race, Fox News projects.
McDonnell's victory over Democrat Creigh Deeds ends eight years of Democratic control of the governorship.
The Republican was favored to win the race and had been leading by double digits in almost every poll. The race hinged in large part on economic concerns -- McDonnell pitched himself to voters as the "jobs governor."
With 32 percent of precincts reporting, McDonnell has 63 percent and Deeds has 37 percent.
