While Robb is the favorite to win the Democratic nominations, Goode’s candidacy cannot be discounted, particulary should Wilder urge his constituency to support him. Interestingly, some moderateconservative Democratic leaders, those who have been closely aligned with Robb in the past, have been squiring Goode around as he seeks signatures on petitions to get on the primary battle.
Just when nobody thinks things can get any more curiouser and curiouser in state politics than they already have, something happens to disprove that notion.
For instance, it is conceiveable that two years from now both of Virginia’s Senators could be independents. If an independent such as Wilder, Webb and Cullen won this year-and it's within the realm of possibility-Wamer may well run an an independent in 1996 since rightist elements of the party despise him and are likely to attempt to deny him the nomination.
And North must be a bit concerned by the notion that some fellow Republicans who don’t want him under any circumstances might get three shots at him—first the the GOP convention, then in the Democratic primary trying to nominate a stronger opponent for him than Robb, then again in the general election by voting for an independent.
