If I remember correctly, Jim Miller lost the nomination at the convention. Coleman was recruited to run as an independent AFTER Miller would not do so. In fact, Miller ran against Warner in `96 over Warner's stab in the back.

I bow to yer better recollection...in any event, if MC had designs on a Senate seat he couldda run in the primary, thereby indicating that his late push was simply a ploy to keep a very-qualified GOP candidate (North) from knocking off the lowlife Chuck Robb.

I also believe there may have been a little self-preservation in Warner's trechery as he had slotted George Allen for Robb's seat and probably wouldda lost to an Allen challenge were North to have taken the other Senate seat.
