Byrd Abont To Hatch?
The number two spot on the ticket—that of lieutenant governor—is of unusual interest and heavy with implications for the future of Virginia politics.
The cracking sound you hear may be that of another Byrd about to hatch in the political nest of the Commonwealth. The name being mentioned is that of Thomas T. Byrd of Winchester, the son of Sen. Harry F. Byrd Jr.
The younger Byrd has never held political office but he was highly active in Republican John Warner’s apparently successful senatorial bid.
In recent months he has been steadily increasing his political visibility and his interest in seeking some public office is generally acknowledged.
The names of the potential candidates for attorney general are legion. A GOP official said, however, that he had heard no interest expressed in suggesting that Coleman seek a second term. The ticket will apparently be filled out with a candidate who is more attuned to the firmly conservative direction of the party.
Republican moderates, of course, are not likely to take all this without a struggle, and it all adds up to a monumental shoot-out at the >981 nominating convention.
