Why do people always say that the Republican class of 1980 was so weak? Jim Abdnor in South Dakota was a popular Congressman who had represented half of the state, as was Mark Andrews in North Dakota. Paula Hawkins in Florida was a statewide elected official when she ran.
I agree that Mack Martingly in Georgia and Jeremiah Denton in Alabama were not great candidates, but Republicans had no bench in either state and both came very close to winning again in 1986.
