The essay argues Carter’s defeat rests on two main factors. A political shift from liberal establishment alignment after Michigan and Madison Square Garden defeats him, while a second, subtler factor is the public’s perception gap between his image and private reality. Ford’s banality oddly reinforces voter reassurance.
The Journal endorses yes on Issues 1 2 3 8 9 and no on Issues 4 5 6 7. State measures 1 2 3 address outdated constitutional items while 8 9 cover rezoning for Bachmann tract Kittyhawk tract. Authors urge careful placement of yes votes and reject reforms proposed in 4 through 7.
The White House announced quotas on beef imports from Australia, South America, Canada and others for the rest of the year. Officials say the move lets American cattlemen sell more beef without raising consumer prices, a policy seen as potentially boosting farm support but criticized as shielding producers at consumer cost. Critics urge lowering foreign barriers instead of creating new ones and invoke a biblical quote at the end.
A reflective piece recalls leaving home with advice to take a chance. It argues Gerald Ford will win against Carter by a slim margin, hinging on undecided voters. The tone favors Ford as safe, predictable, and thoroughly conventional.
Editorial style note questions Jimmy Carter and Ford as presidential choices. The piece mockingly asks if a leader met only months ago can run the nation, asserting confidence that Ford should be elected for four more years, with self-deprecating humor about baked crow and Washington Monument.
John Roche argues the 1976 presidential choice hinges on governance style. He favors Carter Mondale, criticizes Ford as indecisive and dominated by aides. He notes Carter’s growth via debates, contrasts administration instincts, and urges voters to decide now.
The Right to Lifers persist at campaign stops for Democratic nominee Jimmy Carter as Missouri polls show a shrinking lead. The issue stirs Catholic hierarchy friction, with bishops split between restraint and clashing messaging. Carter remains personally opposed to abortion but refuses to back a constitutional amendment, a stance the piece notes as prudent amid rising scrutiny.
