weu, tms year me democratic delegates are assembling June 7-8 at the Richmond Coliseum, and barring some unexpected outbreak of peace, the struggle for the gubernatorial nod between Lt. Gov. Dick Davis and Attorney General Gerald Baliles promises to be every bit as vicious and party shredding as any of the classic primary battles of the past. Indeed, some veteran observers say it is as bitter as any primary donneybrook ever was.
Now, to be sure, the fact that the nomination is being made by convention is not the sole reason for all the unhappiness. The contest between Davis and Baliles would be a rough and tumble affair in any case. But the mechanics of the convention process do nothing to simplify or mollify the nominating procedure. In fact, they vastly complicate and aggravate that procedure with volumes of rules, edicts, do’s, don’ts, ad hoc instructions put out by the party headquarters, and, in all too many cases, reversals of those instructions.
