		It was comparable to the speech that McCloud had drafted for Robb to deliver in September 1988, a speech that would have allowed him to admit, in a roundabout way, various infidelities and a cavalier attitude toward recreational drugs.
		Prosecutors discovered that Robb knew everyone associated with the beach's high-living party scene and could usually be found with a pretty young thing on each arm, some booze nearby, and disco music in the background.
		On Wednesday, Robb, a graduate of the University of Virginia's law school, held a press conference denying that he'd heard the tape and "clarifying" how it came to his office; it had indeed come from his friend Thompson to McCloud and not anonymously, as he'd first said.

		For those of us who worked for Senator Robb in the US Senate, of course, it has only been six months since we have left office and for us, it is not quite as easy to fully assess and place in perspective the legacy of Chuck Robb's public service.
		Chuck Robb not only put African Americans/minorities in his cabinet, on the bench, on commissions, but he also made sure that state agencies had to look to a list of minority contractors when out looking for jobs.
		Robb, Chuck and Lynda, I hope that we were able to fulfill our pledge to you that you would enjoy these two days.

	An Analysis of the Virginia 2000 Senatorial Election
		Chuck Robb may have erred when, after spending over one million dollars in two weeks, as did Allen, he said he would “not turn [it] into a negative campaign”, which they both did.
		There is a possibility it may have seemed that way, for Robb has a “record for gaining momentum late in his campaigns” and may not have been worried about the near tie in the race, assuming he would gain a last-minute lead as usual.
		Chuck Robb may have been able to capture the Senate seat if he had only looked a few years back into Virginia history, to the 1997 election for Governor, where “Jim Gilmore was elected by developing a message about the car tax and staying on it for the entire campaign”.

		In an interesting twist, Robb admitted that when he first started his political career, he did not feel as strongly as the activists about many issues did, but that his enthusiasm for these topics and principles had grown over time.
		Many of Robb's opponents characterized his decision to stay in the Senate until the bitter end as evidence that he was too much of a Washington insider and not close enough to the people.
