Baker poised as GOP favorite in Carter era politics
In Washington Baker rides a blend of age experience and campaign skill appealing to Republican financiers. He has raised over 550000 for his Tennessee senate race, largely from New York financiers and Fortune 500 firms, while risking past clashes with the party right over Panama Canal treaties and Middle East arms sales. Baker seeks to leverage foreign policy critiques to build a national profile, but his duties as Senate minority leader may limit early presidential campaign momentum.
