Editor's note:- Thiis is the second article of a two-part series on the presidentialcandidates and what they must do to win the election. This ar- ticle focuses on the Republican candidates. II The Republicans are quite optimistic about their chance in the 1980 presidential election. After being voted out of the presidency in 1976, the Republicans see the national mood swinging back in their direction. Tax-cutting fever has swept the country-nd the Republicans have been leading the way. To make matters even better for the Republicans, the Democrats have given them a very unpopular president to attack. Everything isn't rosy for the-Republicans, however. They have no clear firontrunner to challenge the Democrats and they have to contend with the same conservative-moderate split that hampered the party in 1976. I Still, there is no shortage of Republican candidates, each saying that he is the one who can carry the party to victory next November. Here is a look at some of the major candidates: Ronald Reagan If there is a real froantrunlner among the Republicanls, it is Ronaldd Reagan. Reagan is the unofficial leader of the conservative wing -of the party and the polls show that he could beat Carter if the election were rfs iAeND OF CMUZATM AS M M Till held now. 16 I -- - - -1 However, Reagan has some big problems. Many people are con- cerned that he is too old to be able to handle the presidency; he would be the oldest president in the history of the United States if he were elected. Another problem is his conservative views on such things as the 0 1'N Panama Canal, which scare many moderates and liberals. To win, Reagan must recapture the conservative support which almost got him the Republican nomination last time. That alone could ShIli be enough to win the nomination this timne around, since the moderates Ine amhm Sio will be hard-pressed to come up with a candidate as strong as Gerald Ford.
