Democrats Fail To Field Candidate In Seventh District
At the Seventh District Democratic convention in Charlottesville delegates debated nominating a candidate to oppose J Kenneth Robinson. A plan for a late return if a viable candidate emerged failed, and the district moves toward a possible 1978 effort. Delegates split among uncommitted Carter Wallace and Udall camps with Dick and O’Bryan winning the two national seats. The day ended with plans to reconvene only if a petition or majority support appears.
