Byrd Opponent Accuses Him Of Misleading Charges In Virginia Race
In the Virginia senatorial contest between Sen. Marty Byrd Jr. and Armistead L. Boothe the race heats up with Boothe charging misleading claims. Byrd campaign staffer Daniel rebutted asserting a tax deduction bill's amendment raised the debt limit and targeted inflation. Endorsements flow as Boothe gains backing from the Virginia Independent Voters League while Robertson receives bank support. Byrd faces Vietnam War stance questions and a large Manassas rally with Smith and Rawlings trading barbs.
