Unpaid visitors talking up Carter include Miss Lillian, Rosalynn, Son Chip, Vice President Walter Mondale and former Governor Kenneth Curtis, who is now the U.S. Ambassador to Canada. Organization is always important in a caucus state, and Carter clearly has the edge: eleven of Maine's 16 Democratic county chairmen are working in his behalf...
