Del. George Grayson of, Williamsburg was nominated as the Democratic candidate for Congress from the First District about six weeks ago.
A month later he pulled out of the race, and 1 don’t blame him for doing so.
Del. Grayson, an intensely loyal Democratic partisan, had been a reluctant candidate in the first place. When he was wrestling with the question of whether or not he should seek the nomination, he said repeatedly if some other qualified candidate would come forward, he would step aside.
When, in his view, none did he agreed to enter the race.
He quickly found himself in an alien political environment. Running for Congress, he discovered, is far different from running for the House of Delegates, which he had done successfully five times.
It suddenly became necessary for him to subject himself to the grillings of numerous Political Action Committees, to compromise, to beg for money from campaign contributors and to travel long distances to meet with the real or selfappointed movers and shakers in Washington and in his own district.
