Those participants elected Mrs. Carney, who is county party co-chairman, Christopher Parrish, and Captain George H. Sharpe as delegates to the state convention. The three alternates were Admiral John Marocchi, Lt. Col. John G. Carney, and David Konick.
Despite media coverage concentrating on Warner and his wife, actress Elizabeth Taylor, the nominee of Virginia’s Republicans after a showdown on the sixth ballot is Richard D. Obenshain of Richmond. The former GOP national chairman and a Democrat, who will be chosen from eight candidates at the Democratic State Convention in Williamsburg this Saturday, will race for the seat of retiring U.S. Senator William L. Scott, a Republican.
Bowing out after Obenshain unofficially reached 28 votes more than the magic number of 1,540.5 needed for the nomination, Warner pledged his support and predicted Obenshain will be the next U. S. Senator. Rappahannock Republicans will follow Warner’s lead.
Having the lawyer-farmer from Middleburg close enough to help beiid up Rappahannock’s Republicans would have been convenient, indicated Mrs. Carney, but they will smoothly transfer support to the lawyer from Richmond. Under the GOP convention rules, votes may be fractionalized with each vote represented by as many as five delegates. Therefore, Rappahannock Republicans could elect up to 15 delegates to each cast one-fifth of the county’s three convention votes. "Next time, maybe we’ll split to six delegates instead of three delegates,” predicted Mrs. Carney, "but I think 15 delegates is too much.” ‘‘We are building the Republican base here slowly,” she added.
