A lot has been said about Ollie North's having lied.
I cite a solution used by a wise man some 2,000 years ago when a young woman was caught in adultery.
Those who have never lied, vote for Robb. Those who admit that they have lied vote for North.
Those who do not admit to either, vote for Coleman.

The alternative to Oliver North and Chuck Robb is Marshall Coleman. No sensational gossip of a massage in a New York hotel or cover ups and lying to Congress encumber him.

The upcoming Senate race has brought much attention to Virginia, most of it in the form of ridicule, scorn and disbelief. The reasons for this are the candidacies of Chuck Robb and Oliver North.
This can be rectified with the election of Marshall Coleman. No one would then laugh at Virginia.
Coleman is eminently qualified to be a U.S. senator. His character is not to be mentioned in the same breath as Robb's or North's.
Let's make Virginia proud in its own eyes and in the eyes of the nation. Vote Marshall Coleman on Nov. 8.

I cannot fathom why ``disenchanted'' voters cry and bemoan the lack of reputable and honest candidates in Virginia's senatorial race. Robb or North? The repetitive answer has been ``not voting'' or ``swallow my better judgment'' and accept the least undesirable choice.
Voters should wake up and look around, take off the media blinders and check out the only option which would give Virginia an experienced and reputable senator. The obvious choice is Marshall Coleman.

Marshall Coleman would be a credit to the United States Senate. No one questions his conservative values (unlike Chuck Robb's) nor his character (definitely unlike Chuck Robb's or Oliver North's).
The only thing people question is whether he can win. If the majority vote their conscience and decide not to substitute one embarrassment for another, Marshall Coleman will win. No more jokes on Jay Leno!
