ne impact on all this on the race for the nomination for lieutenant governor is as confused as it is complicated. There are, as we said, five candidates for the number two spot on the GOP ticket. They are former Attorney General Marshall Coleman of McLean, Sen. John Chichester of Stafford, Del. Pete Giesen of Waynesboro, Richard Viguerie of Falls Church and Maurice Dawkins of Arlington.
The withdrawal of Parris from the race probably hurt Coleman more than the rest. It appears that many delegates from the 3rd District who supported Pams also support Coleman. While they may cool off before the GOP state convention is gavelled to order on May 31, at the present time at least some of these delegates plan to stay home. Indeed, the idea of “going fishing” seems to have occurred to a number of Parris delegates who had been leaning toward Chichester but who resent what they see as his overly close association with the Peachee group.
Just how important all this is when the delegates gather at Norfolk’s Scope for their convention depends, of course, on how far beyond the 3rd District the1 party infighting spreads. But in the no-holds-barred battle for the Republican lieutenant governor’s nomination every vote, and fraction of a vote, will count.
For that reason, the bitter feud in the 3rd could well be the ieciding factor in who wins the /ital number two spot on the JOP ticket.
