Conventional political wisdom has it that an overseas crisis strengthens an incumbent, at least in the short run-the "rally-round-the-flag effect." If Carter is reelected, says Dartmouth Government Professor Larry Radway, he should "invite the Iraqis to sit in a grandstand seat at his Inaugural parade." Whether the Iraqis and the Iranians will be that cooperative remains to be seen. Foreign affairs has not been Carter's long suit, and it is possible that the gulf war has come too soon-and its consequences, once the scare passes, might prove too messy-to be of much...
...podium remained empty while the band played Hail to the Chief. That void was only partially filled when the chief finally emerged, grinning and waving his arms. Somehow he failed to measure up to expectations. His acceptance speech was not electrifying; its voltage, in fact, was low.

If it worked for Charlemagne, it should work for Carter." Carter's strength in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut remains substantial. His chances of carrying Vermont and New Hampshire are minimal...
...Californian Brown is favored to win neighboring Nevada, and Church to carry his native Idaho. But Carter is working hard at holding his edge in Oregon and is a safe bet in Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee. Carter is still the odds-on favorite for the nomination, but as Laurence Radway, Democratic party chairman in New Hampshire, observed: "I watch his face, and it's obvious that his smile is a little more forced than it was before...
