The latter brought an immediate protest from another Senate hopeful, state Sen. Douglas Wilder of Richmond.
Back Room Politic*
Sen. Wilder said it would be unfair for one of the candidates to make the keynote address because it would give him an advantage in winning delegate support. Sen. Wilder renewed his threat to run for the Senate as an independent, saying he smelled back room politics in the choice of Gen. Wilson to make the speech.
Other Democrats were said to be upset by the plan for Gen. Wilson to deliver the keynote address. Some believed the honor should go to someone with a record of service in state politics. One incredulous Democrat called the whole Wilson bid absurd.
Politically, of course, Wilson is all but totally unknown. For that reason, his nomination has to be considered a long shot at best.
But if he should win the nomination, and his talents as a campaigner match his achievements in other fields, his Republican opposition could find itself with a major problem on its hands. Indeed, the entire theory of the GOP campaign would have to be restructured.
