Actually, there were two minorities to which she referred, A coalition of black and Republican women had banded together and elected Audrey Colom, a black Republican as the new chair of the NWPC. Colom, head of the D.C.Child Advocacy Office of the Children's Defense Fund and an outgoing vice chair of the NWPC, defeated two other candidates---Roxanne B. Conlin, an Iowa Democrat, and Dolores Delahanty, a Kentucky Democrat---when Delahanty backers switched behind Colom to put her out front. Since Conlin had been a favorite to succeed Sissy Farenthold as NWPC chp.ir, Colom's vic­ tory was a testament to the low-key political operation waged by the Black and the GOP Caucuses, both of which had endorsed Colom the night before. As one Minnesota delegate put it,"The new 'in' thing is to be young, black, and Republican." (See April 1973 FORUM for a profile of Audrey Colom.) The backers of Colom exuded an effervescent pride in doing the improbable: e.g., a unanimous vote from the Mississippi delegation for Coloma Their Democratic sisters shook their heads in disbelief about the "unlikely" coaltion. Republicans comprised about 100 of the 400 delegates.
