...states by November. Is McCarthy worried about throwing the election to the Republicans? Says he: "To spoil the difference between Jerry Ford and Jimmy Carter is not spoiling very much. I hope to make Carter's problems with the liberals worse." Surveys by Louis Harris and Carter's pollster Pat Caddell have found that, in some states, McCarthy could cost Carter between 5% and 10% of the voters?mostly students, suburban liberals and Catholic blue-collar workers.

Senator John Glenn's fortunes apparently were the next to rise, especially after a survey by Carter Pollster Pat Caddell showed him and Maine's Muskie to be the most popular choices on one list of 14 possible candidates. Glenn flew to Plains, Ga., where he got along famously with Carter's family (he was eight-year-old Amy's favorite).

It's difficult to diagnose anything other than a sweep...
...that Carter convincingly denies ever making. In the manner of Joseph McCarthy's tactics, Wallace said that there were "between 75 and 100 people who worked for McGovern," including a "card-carrying McGovern liberal," in Carter's camp. But he only named three (Fund Raiser Morris Dees, Pollster Pat Codell and Illinois Chairman of the Carter Campaign James Wall...
