The ideal, and the easiest, method would be to name only those who have officially announced. Except that can get confusing.
Take Democratic Del. Carrington Williams of Fairfax. Some time ago, back when nobody believed we’d ever get through Campaign 77, Del. Williams said he would not seek another term in the House of Delegates. He was going to study a race for the U. S. Senate, he said. That’s fine, only I don’t know where to list him. I can’t remember whether or not he has made it official, or whether he is still studying.
And John Warner, a Republican, has been seen so much in the last year that many assume that he has already been elected to'the Senate. I know he has not announced.
He told me in the summer that it probably would not happen until December. His name goes on the “will” list. Other Republican names are also being tossed about, I’ve heard, but I can’t remember those. They don’t tftalce myiisr. ’ *u '*'»’• J
Until Henry Howell’s defeat for governor, State Sen. Clive DuVal of McLean looked like a “will.” But now he may be edging toward the “expected to” category. Time will tell.
Loudoun’s State Sen. Charles Waddell, who is shared by western Fairfax, also goes between “will” and “expected to.” Sen. Waddell needs to find out how much money he can get before making his final move into the “has announced” list.
Rouding out the “expected tos” are former Attorney General Andrew Miller, who lost to Howell in the Democratic governor primary, and State Sen. Jim Edmunds of Mecklenberg County.
