Wilder did not comment further on his plans for utilizing local options.

It wasn’t an entirely smooth visit for the candidate. Upon his arrival at the Culpeper rally, Wilder was immediately questioned by a member of the Culpeper Town Council, John Garr, about Wilder’s failure to reply to the Town Council about a proposed enlargement of Culpeper's Campbell Prison.

Garr asked the question when the pair shook hands. Wilder would not reply.

During his speech. Wilder likened himself to Civil War Gen. Robert E. Lee, saving that after studying a portrait of Lee, he thought how “had fewer troops, and never had any technical advantages. As I said to a reporter later, I guess I must be the Robert E. Lee of this election."

Wilder went on to say that his opponent, Marshall Coleman, resembles Gen. George McClellan, who “always had more troops . . . always had the greatest array of technicians, and always lost.” Wilder also pledged to “continue to run a positive campaign.”
