Who's for Whom CARTER

Carol Channing, actress: "We can't have a President who just acts like a President. I'm campaigning to save America from a Hollywood administration."

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, black activist: "Mr. Reagan's approach to foreign policy is that of a macho man. And John Anderson is a vacuum cleaner to suck up the frustrated, the purist and the self-righteous."

Loretta Lynn, country music star: "We can talk to the President. I'm a country girl and he's from the country too."

Muhammad All, former heavyweight boxing champion: "We don't have no black candidate for President, so it's up to us to choose the right white."

Goldie Hawn, when interrupted during an interview in Florida by a deafening overhead roar that the questioner identified as a B-52: "Oh, did Ronald Reagan already get in? I'm supporting Carter because I don't want to die."

Leon Jaworski, former Watergate special prosecutor: "I would rather have a competent extremist than an incompetent moderate."

Zsa Zsa Gabor, whose first choice is not a candidate this time: "Nixon would know how to deal with the Iranian militants: get a million dollars baksheesh and pay them off. They steal a ring off your ringer and sell it back to you. Nixon understands."

Eldridge Cleaver, former Black Panthers leader: "Carter has turned his back on [black Americans and] has become the laughing stock of the international community."
