be nominated a third time even though he seems to be one of those types with nine lives. Paul Trible, the former United States Senator who lost the gubernatorial nomination in Coleman in 1989, is making big bucks in a Washington law firm and has been scarcely heard from since.
Two men who at the moment seem possibly - and I emphasize possibly - the top choices for the top of the ticket in 1993 are good friends and would probably not compete against each other.
They are Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest Jr. of Front Royal, who sought the nomination in 1989 unsuccessfully, and Del. Clinton Miller of Shenandoah County.
Guest is the House minority leader and Miller the assistant leader, they hail from the same region and work in tandem. It may be that Guest will want to hang around, hoping to become Speaker of the House.
There is also talk of recycling State Sen. John Chichester of Stafford for lieutenant-governor. Though Chichester lost to Douglas Wilder in ( 1985, there were some extenuating x circumstances in that he got no help at all from the top of the ticket and that on election day flooding in Republican areas of the state probably cost him the election.
But lots of other names will be floated for the second spot, including Dels. Frank Hargrove of Hanover, and John Watkins of Henrico anff' Sens. Joseph Benedetti of Richmond, Robert Russell of Chesterfield and William C. Wampler Jr. of Bristol.
Another prospective candidate for attorney general on the GOP ticket is Del. Steven Agee of Roanoke.
Of course, every four years other names emerge of people who have never been directly involve in electoral politics but are thought by some to have a chance for nomination for statewide office.
That shouldn’t be the case with any of the statewide office nominations in 1993, when the Republi-' cans will have ammunition and the Democrats will have a winning streak on the line
