The Associated Press called the Virginia Senate race for Democrat Jim Webb, giving his party control of the U.S. Senate.

A count by the AP showed Webb with 1,172,538 votes and Republican Sen. George Allen with 1,165,302, a difference of 7,236. Almost all the votes are counted.

Allen has so far refused to concede but Republicans say they don't believe he can overcome Webb or seek a recount.
