Newspaper Column: Virginia's Presidential Primary

Abstract

Now its your turn to choose your favorite Democratic candidate for President. On Tuesday, February 10, the polls open in Reston at 6 AM and close at 7 PM. Of the dropout candidates, Carol Moseley-Braun, former Congresswoman and former Ambassador to New Zealand, made her decision in time to remove her name from the ballot. Dick Gebhardt, former House leader, left the campaign trail after the ballot was printed. His name will remain on the ballot, a forlorn reminder of the hazards of political fortune.
