...having a little trouble. If he could only demonstrate that he's pulled himself together into one piece, everything might start falling into place. But for now, Brown is having his troubles on both sides of the country. Every time he flits off from Sacramento to join the pack rats in New Hampshire, the shit hits the fan. His lieutenant governor, Mike Curb, has developed a nasty habit of confirming federal judges and making policy decisions while Brown darts through the Concord mills. And, trailing badly, Brown cannot afford to stay at home...
...other Illinois congressman in the race, Rep. Phillip M. Crane, is not looking much past his home state either. The conservative will be happy if he can break into the double figures in New Hampshire--10 or 11 per cent--and remain with the pack in Massachusetts with 15 to 18 per cent, Gregory F.

She is worried about heating her home this winter and about her kids being sent off to fight in the Persian Gulf. She is fed up with talk from...
...after Iowa, political wisdom had it that Kennedy would be out of it if he didn't win both Maine and New Hampshire. yet his competitive defeat in the Maine caucus ended up as a moral victory, and now Carter is in the historically unenviable position of heading the pack into New Hampshire. Lyndon Johnson needed a big win here in 1968, Ed Muskie in 1972; Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern refused to give it to them, and the campaigns turned in favor of the two narrow losers. Unless Carter repeates his Iowa performance, gaining a majority, the momentum will...
