Political junkies nationwide are increasingly speculating that the Democratic presidential nominee might not be selected until this summer's party convention.

On this date 150 years ago, delegates from 27 western Virginia counties heatedly debated, but ultimately rejected, the creation of a pro-Union state called New Virginia. The delegates were gathered to craft a response opposing Virginia's march toward secession. The roster of the 436 convention delegates who crowded the second floor of Washington Hall, a five story building at the corner of Market and 12th streets in downtown Wheeling, was a virtual who's- who list of western Virginians opposed to alignment with the Confederacy.
