Warner
(Continued from Page 1)
With President Reagan running strong in Virginia and Warner with large leads in newspaper polls (a 60 to 24 percent lead in a Richmond TimesDispatch poll last month), Warner seems like he could almost make you believe that the Republicans alone are responsible for those verdant fields and for the coming of fall itself.
In fact, at the close of his stump speech at Rock Hill Farm, Warner said he’d accepted an invitation from his son, John Warner IV, to go to a party and watch a football game at the University of Virginia that night, and that he would take a break from the campaign trail to do it. It left no time for the senator to sit down for an interview that his staff had scheduled with a reporter.
Like many Republicans these days, Warner is running “on his record,” which he estimates has been about 75 percent behind Reagan “and I’m proud of that.”
“He’s putting America back on the road of economic recovery, and he’s made America stronger in terms of our national defense,” Warner told reporters after his Rock Hill Farm speech.
Virginia’s senior senator has wielded that two-pronged approach in his race for a second Senate term against Edythe C. Harrison, the Democratic nominee and former state legislator from Norfolk who trails badly in fund raising and in the polls.
