Wilder's priorities
Last week, Virginia Gov. L. Douglas Wilder expanded his presidential exploration, making a whirlwind tour of New Hampshire.
Though the Iowa caucuses lay claim to the earliest selecrion process for potential presidential candidates, New Hampshire boasts the first statewide presidential primary. Thus, it is a popular destination for potential candidates looking to test the political waters. -
Gov. Wilder emerged from his New Hampshire immersion proclaiming that “the water feels better all the time.” Though he coyly demurred in the face of questions about his presidential plans, Gov. Wilder looks more and more like a candidate for the Democratic nomination n next year. We’ll all know sometime this month, since he promised a decision soon, possibly by mid-September.
Though a run for the presidency has obvious appeal to Gov. Wilder’s political ambitions, ,we think there are several good reasons for him to stay on the sidelines, in the governor’s mansion, in 1992.
The state’s current fiscal difficulties demand the governor’s attention. Though Lt. Gov. Dqnald S. Beyer has proven himself a capable second-in-command, and a likely candidate to succeed Gov. Wilder, the perception of a state without a leader as the governor gallivants across the country is unsettling to manv in Virginia.
