HEAD START: It’s only been two weeks since Gov. Pete Wilson appointed Anaheim’s John Seymour to the U.S. Senate, but Seymour leads Rep. William E. Dannemeyer in the Times O.C. Poll. . . . Dannemeyer (R-Fullerton) is known to be ready to challenge Seymour in the 1992 GOP primary but won’t formally announce until just before the Feb. 22-24 state GOP convention, says spokesman Paul Mero. So Seymour’s lead is natural, Mero says, “given the fact that Seymour is an incumbent Republican senator with no challengers.”
