Joked he: "The other side will probably have caviar, but all of you bring 25 people and we will win." His fleet of caucus-day vehicles includes seven black limousines from funeral homes...

In the last week, the Carter forces, headed by Boston political consultant Jack Walsh, have launched a barrage of last-minute radio spots. A small fleet of buses has been hired to move the elderly from beach to ballot box. Carter, who won here by almost 70 per cent four years ago, is panicking--his organization has brought in political mercenaries to run the campaign and inflated the caucus war chest from...
