Analysis: Ian Paisley's not for turning - (United Press International) Among them, the betting is that if Paisley, who has suffered serious health problems in recent months but appears to have rebounded from them, should die or step down, his most likely successor will be his own son, Ian Paisley Jr., with Nigel Dodds, a key DUP leader in North Belfast, as his right-hand man.
