...second time around, feeling that Wyman had been too complacent last November. On the surface, they had reason for confidence, since state elections normally turn on personality, experience and local issues. Wyman, a lawyer who was once New Hampshire's attorney general, looked strong on each count. He was more articulate and agile at debate; he looked and sounded like a Senator.
