¶ In the Deep South, where gubernatorial races are decided in the primaries, a quartet of Democrats rambled to predictably easy victories over Republican sacrificial lambs. Arkansas Segregationist Orval Faubus won an unprecedented (for his state) fourth term; North Carolina's brainy, boyish-looking Terry Sanford, who irritated many old-line Democrats by supporting John Kennedy before the party's national convention, won easily but got surprisingly strong opposition from lightly regarded Republican Challenger Robert T. Gavin. Florida's Farris Bryant, bright but segregationist, had no trouble in winning 5 to 3. In Texas, Conservative Price Daniel gave lukecold support to the Kennedy-Johnson ticket but had blazing hot support from the voters, who gave him a runaway third-term victory over Dallas Republican William Steger.
