“I’m committed to fulfilling my term as governor,” he said in last week’s interview.
Yet the signs of his national ambitions are viewed by many as obvious.
For example, last month Wilder’s top political advisor and the state Democratic chairman, Paul Goldman, started a political action committee called, ‘"Die Committee for Fiscal Responsibility in 1992.” Money raised by the PAC is planned to help pay for travel and campaigning.
Goldman also recently created some publicity for Wilder by criticizing two fellow Democrats who also are thought to be eyeing the White House—U.S. Sen. Charles S. Robb, of Virginia, and New York Gov. Mario Cuomo.
Wilder said Dec. 14 that Coleman’s record as attorney general was “the lousiest” in Virginia history, and that Robb, who formerly served as governor, and with whom Wilder is reported to have a longstanding feud, was reviving Coleman’s career by pushing him for the drug post. Wilder said he, has spoken to Cuomo since Goldman made his remarks, and that the two governors “got along well.”
Wilder himself said in the interview last Friday that there will later be time for “an accurate perusal of my record as to what sort of governor I have been for Virginia. And then the question then is whether that would serve as a guide for any further political offing?”
