Herb is the most neutral of everyone in South Dakota and will be traveling the state in the next few weeks, talking to people and learning. The state party is in debt and now it is uncertain how much service the state party will be able to give the Democratic candidate. 7/11/77 TENNESSEE I. Governor Ray Blanton (D) - He cannot succeed himself. He is unpopular due to scandals surrounding his administration. Likely candidates are: Jake Butcher, who placed 2nd in the Democratic primary last time; Richard Fulton, mayor of Nashville; and State Representative R6ger Murray. Others;.mentioned are: James Larner, Bobby Clement, Ned McWhorter and Marilyn Lloyd. Butcher because of his money and name recognition could edge out Fulton in a two way race but with the addition of McWhorter the situation would alter radically. McWhorter is probably more pop­ ular than is Butcher and could probably win out, although slimly. But the effect ' of such a tight primary fight will make the general a more tenuous affair.
