Eight Blunders. Certainly Ford has been fighting back since then. He virtually hissed Carter's name at a Republican fund raiser in California, urging listeners to "just ask your friends in Georgia about him," and told a Texas audience: "You just can't believe that man." Whistlestopping through Illinois, Ford said: "Jimmy Carter will say anything, anywhere to become President." At another point, he said with extravagant alliteration: "He wanders, he wavers, he waffles and he wiggles." In this week's final debate, Ford is prepared to claim that Carter has had to apologize for no fewer...
Lynn, who was also in Boston to speak at a Republican fund-raiser and to talk about the administration's programs with newspaper editors in Boston, said that "the voters face a decision between the president--an honest man with very specific programs--and Carter, a pig in a poke...
Almost as controversial as these payments are Stare's fund raising methods, which have unquestionably made him the best fund raiser on the School of Public Health's faculty.

But, as Loegering readily admits, the fight is still very much uphill. His opponent in the fall will...
...anything else, it is Carter's personality and style that cause businessmen to warm to him as they rarely do to a Democrat. "Nobody knows what a President is going to do," says John Bunting, chairman of Philadelphia's First Pennsylvania Bank and an early Carter fund raiser, though he is an independent. "You are always betting on the person." United Air Lines Chairman Edward Carlson, long a fan of President Ford's, finds Carter a "pretty impressive individual" because of the management talents displayed by his long climb from obscurity to the nomination.
