Democrats say, has been her lack of legislative effectiveness, will at least give Beyer some ammunition to lobby in her direction.
One thing is certain. If Beyer pulls off the same kind of miracle Wilder did to defeat Republican John Chichester four years ago, the entire statewide GOP ticket will sink deeper than the Titanic.
This observer wants to make it clear that while he thinks Beyer will be able to make a better case and run a better race than Saslaw would have, he is pretty confident come election day Eddy Dalton will win a post whose main job duty is that of presiding over the State Senate.
But Beyer has already proved once again, as Wilder did before him, that political longshots sometimes win races, and he will get a lot of help from the likes of Charles Robb, Gerald Baliles, A.L. Philpott, Hunter B. Andrews, et al.
Yogi Berra allegedly once said, "It ain’t over till it’s over,” and Mris. Dalton and Virginia Republicans will have to bear that in mind as th£y take on someone who refused to listen to all the pundits and politiciaps who told him he was supposed to lose. ]
