Virginia Democrats Face Debate Over National Convention Pledge
Virginia Democratic leader Robert Whitehead denounces the idea that Virginia delegates could attend the 1960 Democratic National Convention without pledging to the national nominees. He warns the plan, linked to southern States' rights strategies, threatens party unity and the electoral process. The piece notes the Georgia Plan discussion, Virginia law on unpledged electors, and the broader fight over regional influence in national politics. It ends with a stray zoological note about the white tailed jackrabbit.
