They do not have the traditional support systems that men may have and urban women are learning to develop, say some of the successful female politicians. "We don't have the money. Let's call a spade a spade," said Cathey Steinberg, newly elected state senator from DeKalb County, who lost a 1988 statewide race for the Public Service Commission. "I couldn't raise a couple of million dollars because we women don't have the support system," Ms.

Steinberg said. eas, for both sociological and economic reasons. The increasing number of women in the work force not only enlarges the candidate pool, it also politicizes issues that are traditionally female, such as child care. "I think as the two-income families become more entrenched, couples see as important education and child care, care of the elderly and the use of our tax dollars. Women identify with those issues more as there are more in the work force," said Frances Savage, a second-term Mississippi lawmaker.

And as the South becomes more urban and more prosperous, Mrs. Felton said, female candidates find more support from the kind of upscale urban' constituency she represents.

But political observers say the job of state legislator or county commissioner still is coveted in the rural South, resulting in a lower turnover rate and fewer openings for minority or female Mississippi 10 10 Alabama Louisiana HANCOCK SOD One race remains to be decided.

The group, marking Tuesday's election, wore buttons declaring their various choices for replacing President Bush. The partygoers weren't Democrats; they were Republicans, furious because Mr. Bush had reneged on his "no new taxes" pledge.

So angry that they would prefer Housing Secretary Jack F. Kemp, hard-line conservative commentator Pat Buchanan or retired Marine Lt. Col. Oliver L. North.

"I don't think there's any doubt that Bush will be challenged in the primary," declared Howard Phillips, a longtime conservative leader. He said he is election-night party, said Mr. Bush's switch on taxes was "the last straw." Mr. Bush "spent the campaign of '88 saying, 'Trust me, I'm a Ronald Reagan complained Mr. Viguerie.

"He just lied to us." Mr. Viguerie, head of United Conservatives of America, said he would welcome a GOP challenge by Mr. Buchanan, former candidate Pat Robertson or outgoing Sen. William Armstrong of Colorado. As for the president, Mr.

Viguerie chided, "The man has no principles. He's like a boat on a lake with all sail and no rudder." Mr. Bush and other Republicans brush off the harsh talk from the party's right wing.
