In general, about one in every three House and Senate members post-votin- targeted for defeat by liberal groups or Democrats lost last week. However, comparing conservative and Republican lists against the voters' choices showed only one or none defeated in most ' cases. The lists, of course, do not make clear how much those who selected the targets contributed to the result. The most successful list was Committee for the Future of America, which saw six of the eight on its list of conservative House members defeated. Citizens for Common Sense in the National Defense, which sponsored television commercials against several vulnerable GOP House and Senate members opposed to a nuclear freeze, had four of the 10 on its list defeated. The Peace Political Action Committee, which contributed money to defeat anti-freeHouse members, saw four of the 11 on its list go down at the polls. last-minu- te ''''''' were defeated. But the Life Amendment PAC was unaan group ble to defeat any of the six senators on its hit list. The reason may not hava been entirely ideological, because senators are tougher targets than House members. Democrats for the 80s scored against none of the five Republican senators on its hit list, and the National Organization for Women also came up empty after targeting three Senate members. For the most part, though, the progressives did better than that. anti-aborti- Environmental Action found three of the nine House members on its list defeated, Americans for Democratic Action was 12 for 38, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee had one in three, and National Committee for an Effective Congress, defeated 11 of the 30 on its list. Conversely, conservatives did not do well. The Committee for Survival of a Free Congress was zero for six, Fund for a Conservative Majority was one for nine, and the National Conservative PAC was one for five. NCPAC was successful, however, in an open seat, where it helped Republican Paul Trible defeat Democrat Dick Davis for the Senate in Virginia.
