Edward Ken nedy, said yesterday he thinks the 1980 election will pit President Carter against former Gov. Ronald Reagan of California. Saying he had no inside in formation, O'Neill told reporters he doubted Kennedy would seek the nomination. "The nominee will be - Jimmy Carter," O'Neill said. "He will be fighting (Ronald) Reagan, who's got it sewed up" for the GOP nomination. As for Kennedy, D-Mass., the speaker said: "I think if he were a candidate he'd be out there organizing." O'Neill said thal Kennedy has put together no campaign organization and has sent no advance organizers into the field. That simply is not the' Kennedy style, he said. "Any organization out there is a rump organization, and that just isn't a Kennedy organization," he said. While O'Neill said he would likely support Kennedy if he runs, he said he perionally liked Carter, calling him "a brilliant man, highly in telligent."' O'Neill said Carter was doing "as reasonably good a job" as any man could under the cir cumstances. Kennedy has said he will decide by late this year whether to challenge Carter for the Democratic nomination:He said his decision will be based in part on Carter's handling of the economy. In Proyidence, R. 1., U.S. Am bassador-at-large Elliott Richardson said he expects Kennedy to seek the nomination and said he would be "a formidable challenger to President Carter." "Kennedy's footwqrk has been pretty nimble lately," the Massachusetts Republican said. "He's made movements toward being more conservative while at the same time pointing toward his earlier accomplishments which were quite 1 0. liberal." Kennedy's statements over the past two weeks have sparked a flurry of activity among draft Kennedy groups across the nation. Marianne Olson, co-chairman of the Pennsylvania draft Kemiedy movement, said Democratic National Chairman John White should resign because he supported Carter's re election and was therefore unable to be impartial. "John White not only does not understand our party, he doesn't understand what's troubling the s American people," she said. Carter lost an ally in Florida when state comptroller S Gerald Lewis became the first statewide of ficeholder to announce his support for Kennedy. Florida Democrats will vote in a "straw ballot" at a state convention in November to choose a presidential favorite, although the balloting is not binding and the state will hold a presidential primary next March.
