Pams has a better electoral record and is satisfactorily conservative. But outside of Republican activist circles, he is little known south of the Occoquan Creek, that physically narrow but philosophically oceanic body of water which separates Northern Virginia from the rest of the Commonwealth and — as it sometimes seems — from the rest of the world.
Durrette says if Dalton runs he will seek the nomination for lieutenant governor, a post also coveted by Coleman and Del. A.R. “Pete" Giesen (R-Augusta) this time around.
Thus far, Del. W.R. “Buster" O’Brien of Virginia Beach is the only potential candidate to voice an interest in the attorney general’s slot on the ticket.
In view of all this, the pressure within the party is mounting on Dalton. Some of that pressure is reminiscent of the arguments which were used to coax former Gov. Mills Godwin to seek a second term in 1973. At that time Godwin was convinced by his supporters that only he could “save the world” from Henry Howell.
Likewise, some of the same people are now trying to convince Dalton that it is his turn to “save the world.” According to their scenerio, Lt. Gov. Dick Davis is the likely winner of the Democratic gubernatorial nod. While they make no effort to tag Davis as a liberal of the Howell stripe, they are telling Dalton that the world needs saving from the liberal, labor and black Democratic Constituent groups who will bring about the Davis nomination and to whom he will be beholden.
