Scammon and Wattenberg, though, underrate the importance of Vietnam. The issue has cooled, but it remained prominent in many races this year. Senator Gore's opposition to the war along with his support of the Cooper-Church amendment was a major issue in the Tennessee race and lost him votes. Outside the South, primaries and elections particularly for the House affirmed the capacity of candidates running on an anti-war platform to draw major support. The authors' reticence on the war issue may stem from their ties to Johnson and Humphrey. The book itself, no doubt, began as a series...
...after last week's elections, Research Director David Cooper of the Democratic National Committee peered out of his office window in Washington at the late afternoon darkness; lightning flashed, rain and hail pelted down. "That damn sky is about to drop on us," he joked. "Tell them we'll give them Michigan."

These votes took courage, for Nevada is a conservative state, and Cannon's opponent, Republican Rep. William Raggio, has made the most of them. Raggio is a strong law-and-order, victory-in-Vietnam man, and his election to the Senate would be a big boost to the Administration. Agnew has made several trips to the state to aid Raggio...
...York voters. Goodell had a middle of the road record as a Representative. As a Senator he thought it would be a good idea to be more liberal and veered to the left. He voted against the two Nixon nominations to the Supreme Court; he voted for the Church-Cooper and Hatfield-McGovern bills, and filed his own anti-war measure. Agnew has called him the Christine Jorgensen of the Republican party...
