NO ONE'S FOLLOWING WHERE WILDER LEADS
WHO DIED and made Gov. Doug Wilder king? Little dictator would probably be more accurate.
After kissing up to every faction, particularly the educated white, he suddenly turns and tries his best to divide Virginia along strict racial lines. He slips around hinting that he can control and deliver every black vote in Virginia to any candidate who pleases him. He surely should realize by now, if he is in touch with reality, that he was elected by a fluke, and those deluded, white majority voters have had many months to observe his antics.
Let's give him his desire and allow ourselves to be divided along racial lines! That would not mean that we would be rolling in the muck with him, but simply delivering a message that Virginians may be fooled into giving such a person a chance once but we are awake now.
He has done a favor for Attorney General Mary Sue Terry that will ensure her election as our next governor by his animosity toward her. He simply cannot understand a person like Ms. Terry, who does the job for which she was elected, is supremely capable, is dedicated to all Virginians and who, therefore, has no need to grovel to him.
