Even with his impeachment vote, he is favored to get his party's nomination, and as before he remains an underdog against Incumbent Marvin Mandel in a state where 69% of the voters are Democrats.

Now president of West Virginia Wesleyan College (enrollment: 1,525), he plans to try again...
...clothes and fast cars, he is an energetic crusader who, in his self-styled role as "the people's attorney," has tilted with strip-miners, polluters, and, in an effort to lower prices, the Alabama dairy commission. The only thing between Baxley, a native of Dothan, and the governorship is George Wallace. That is quite an obstacle, but then Baxley figures to be around for a long time...
