By GEORGE BOWLES
With the state Democratic convention only a little more than a month away, the frustration index among the party’s top brass appears to be rising with each passing day.
The reason for their concern is not exactly new. One of the main items on the convention’s agenda will be the nomination of a senate candidate to oppose incumbent Republican John Warner, whose seat is up for election this year. Thus far, the party leaders haven’t found one with whom they feel comfortable.
In order for them to feel comfortable, the candidate would have to conform to a combination of qualifications. There must be a reasonable chance that he or she could raise the million or so dollars needed to conduct a creditable campaign. There must also be the potential for positive and rapid statewide name identification. Finally, there should be general conformity to Gov. Church Robb’s moderate-to-conservative political philosophy. And, they hope, the candidate would be electable.
