Some pundits say they hear reports that there are Democrats who won't back Wilder. because they think he is too liberal. There are suspicions in some quarters that at least part of that thinking may be attributed to the color of Wilder’s skin.
Just as George Bush, with the help of Lee Atwater, did to Michael Dukakis, Coleman is calling Wilder a liberal at heart who started taking more moderate stands on issues once he set his eye on statewide office. In Coleman’s case, the strategy is obviously designed to rally conservative independents and as many Democrats as possible to his side.
Few Democrats are going to publicly endorse the Republican candidate, but he will be satisfied with their silent endorsement in the privacy of the voting booth.
To shore up his credentials as a centrist Democrat, Wilder frequently says he wants to carry on the legacy of the Robb-Baliles gubernatorial years.
If 1985 is any indication, race won’t be a large factor in who becomes governor. Wilder will certainly get a very large majority of the black vote, but that same vote went to Robb and Babies. Whether he can attract enough white votes to win is the key question.
