Washington window hints GOP Senate takeover risk
A Washington window column argues the GOP could seize Senate control in 1980. With 24 liberal Democrats up for re election and Watergate liberals from 1974 nearing term end, Republicans would chair key committees from Agriculture to Appropriations, Finance to Foreign Relations, reshaping Congress if they win. A Democratic White House bid by Baker, Dole, or Weicker could help Democrats gain a seat.
