Helms has promised not to take the job.  He was vulnerable in North
Carolina only because Hunt was almost able to make the charge that he
served the national New Right rather than his state stick; had not
Helms consistently emphasized the importance of the Agriculture
committee (and his committment to it), it is likely he would have been
defeated.  I don't think Helms will dare switch committees so soon
after his scare.

Next in line is Lugar of Indiana.  Not as loud as Helms, though the
New Right could live with him.  However, he is seeking the post of
Majority Leader, and should he succeed, the man next in line is...

Mathias of Maryland!  The next best thing to Weicker in the Senate!
Gosh, I hope Lugar gets Baker's job.
