...choice, Michigan's Democrats could not turn their backs on Williams, and he made it easy for them not to by being the old Soapy they remembered. Just about all the experts feel that Williams now has an excellent chance to knock off Senator Robert Griffin, the bright but diffident Republican appointed to McNamara's post by G.O.P. Governor George Romney. In labor-powerful Michigan, Griffin is marked eternally as co-author of the Landrum-Griffin Act, the 1959 legislation that imposed severe restrictions on the internal procedures of labor unions and generally curbed the powers of their...
...their silence on Vietnam. Their greatest importance, as far as affecting policy is concerned, will be the effect of their showing on their states' congressional delegations. If Romney, for example, runs strongly, he may defeat all four of Michigan's marginal Congressional seats and sweep newly-appointed Senator Robert Griffin into a full term. The expected weak showing of Governor Rockefeller of New York, on the other hand, may help produce surprise victories for three or four marginal Democrats--a result which would tend to overstate the President's support...

Poor Paul looked like Robin Hood with heartburn...
...fate of Romney's Presidential bid, then, depends heavily on what happens to the U.S. Senate seat vacated by the death this week of Senator Pat McNamara. Romney will probably appoint the already hand-picked Republican candidate, Congressman Robert Griffin. The fiercely contested Democratic primary between ex-Governor G. Mennen Williams and Mayor Cavanagh will probably help Griffin, and both Democratic candidates will have serious electoral weaknesses. Romney will certainly be out campaigning hard this fall to keep Griffin in the Senate--and to put a public relations man in the White House...
