- Confident of a presidential victory next year, Senate
- Republicans are also training their sights on the 56-44
- Democratic majority. The top targets opposed using force
- against Iraq:
-
-
- Brock Adams, Washington. The state's senior Senator has a
- bigger problem than a dovish stance: his alleged sexual
- encounter with the 24-year-old daughter of lifelong friends
- while his wife was out of town.
-
- Wyche Fowler, Georgia. The brickbats tossed at Fowler and
- fellow Georgia Senator Sam Nunn for their peacenik stance are
- more likely to wound the folksy freshman. He's the one up for
- re-election, and he doesn't have Senator Sam's hawkish record.
-
- Fritz Hollings, South Carolina. Once thought to be
- politically invincible, Hollings was roundly booed at a rally
- for returning gulf soldiers. Polls indicate that Republican
- Governor Carroll Campbell, if he decides to run, stands a good
- chance of handing Hollings his first statewide-election loss
- in more than 30 years.
-
- Barbara Mikulski, Maryland. This abrasive first-termer
- hasn't impressed the folks back home. Mikulski will have
- trouble winning back the support of conservative blue-collar
- voters who don't understand why she didn't support punching out
- Saddam Hussein.
-
- Terry Sanford, North Carolina. The 73-year-old former
- college president has provided a soothing antidote to fellow
- Senator Jesse Helms, but the state's voters are none too
- pleased with his liberal voting record and meager legislative
- achievements.
