Democrats are also placing high hopes on three other races: Tennessee, where the retirement of Senator Howard Baker has led to a free-for-all among four Republicans vying to run against Democratic Congressman Albert Gore Jr.; Mississippi, where popular former Democratic Governor William Winter is challenging Republican Thad Cochran; and Iowa, where an acrimonious race is shaping up between freshman Senator Roger Jepsen, a conservative Republican, and Representative Tom Harkin, a liberal Democrat.
