...Quayle gave a boost to the Republican ticket in Indiana, but Hoosier Democrats won with a favorite son of their own: Evan Bayh, 32, offspring of former U.S. Senator Birch Bayh. Handily defeating Lieutenant Governor John Mutz, 53, he became the first Democrat to run the state in 20 years. Bayh has served 22 months as secretary of state, in contrast to Mutz's twelve years in the statehouse and senate, but the young Democrat successfully moved away from his father's liberalism and attacked Mutz for backing tax increases and state subsidies for foreign investors...

...Career Lobbyist Thomas H. Boggs Jr.: "They see people making a lot more money than they do, and they see lobbying as an opportunity. They weigh that against ten to 15 more years in politics."

Similarly, Church was the target of a conservative media blitz. As part of its anti-Church campaign, the National Catholic Political Action Committee ran an ad claiming the Senator had voted to increase...
...years ago, the National Conservative Political Action Committee was the scourge of the left, spending at least $1.2 million to help sweep away such liberal luminaries as Senators Frank Church, Birch Bayh, John Culver and George McGovern. Scenting total victory, NCPAC Chairman Terry Dolan immediately announced a 1982 hit list of 20 Senators, including such improbable targets as Pat Moynihan of New York and Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts. Political realities eventually shrank the list to five, but NCPAC still raised $10 million and spent $4.5 million in the 1982 elections. Yet last week, for all its thunder, the New Right...
