He went on to work on President Nixon's re-election campaign, served briefly as Under Secretary of Commerce in the Ford Administration and in 1976 helped Ford defeat Reagan for the Republican nomination. As Ford's campaign chairman in the late stages of the race, Baker waged an aggressive fight in a losing effort against Jimmy Carter, impressing the Republican Establishment with his energy, acumen and cool efficiency...
