would be essential tor a credible cnauenger to wamer.
The most frequently mentioned potential candidate has been Sen. Hunter Andrews of Hampton who, as minority leader of the upper house, is one of the most respected and powerful members of the General Assembly. At midweek, however, Andrews said he is “leaning way” from running. He thus appears to have taken himself out of the potential candidate category.
Others who are either admittedly or reportedly interested in the nomination include Sen. Edward Holland of Arlington and Alexandria attorney William Thomas, a close confidant of Gov. Charles S. Robb.
Robb, of course, is every Democrat’s favorite for the nomination and is seen as the potential candidate who would have the best chance of unhorsing Wamer. The governor, however, has repeatedly disavowed interest in going to the Senate at this time. Some still contend, however, that he has not absolutely ruled out running if he should be drafted by the convention.
Interestingly, there were whispers around Democratic headquarters last week about an unidentified “mystery candidate” of high promise who might jump into the race. Sources were tight-lipped about who this might be, and even about whether or not he or she is presently in public life.
Then too, some Democrats have been boosting De. Mary Sue Terry of Stuart as having high potential and growing statewide appeal. Del. Terry, however, insista that she has no interest in the Sentate bid and appears to be gearing up to run for attorney general in 1985.
