In the Democratic Party, if Brown cannot defeat Carter in the primary elections as he did m 19?(), it is unlikely that Sen. Edward Kennedy will challenge Hie piesid. r,t Probably the onlv thing that would bring Kennedy into the race is the conviction that Brown, a member of hi' own generation, was about to capture the Democratic Party Troubles Carter Most In the Republican Party, the obvious gainm of these developments is Connally, and he is the one who troubles the Carter people fuore than anybody else Despite the handicap of hav mg jumped parties, infuriating the Democrats as a traitor and the Republicans as a presumptuous newcomer, Connally is still a formidable with just the flamboyant eon ft challenger deuce Carter often seems to lack Regan will, however, still retain enough strength to challenge Connally for the loyalty of the Republican conservatives, and this is the hoX of the GOP moderates particularly Sen Howard Baker and George Bush of Texas. After 27 months m office, according to Geuige Gallup, Carter has a lower rating in the popnluritv polls than any of his six predecc-sors at the same time But there are a couple of important things about Carter which brought turn to the White House in the first dace He worked harder than anytxidy else, and mav he more important he's lucky Brown and Reagan of California looked lot a while as if they might knock him off in the primaries ami in the general election, hu!
