...looking to stay close to Mo Udall on Tuesday," one Birch Bayh organizer said over the weekend. In pursuit of this goal, the Indiana senator has spent the last three days crisscrossing the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in search of the hand to be shaken and the vote...
...April 6, however, the traveling primary circus moves to New York, and Bayh contends that the acid test for liberals should come then. Bayh says that he has a strong organization in New York, and has put together more delegate slates there than any other liberal candidate.

Although several candidates spent close to the federal limit of about $200,000 in New Hampshire, nobody is going to come close to the $600,000 limit for Massachusetts.

On Friday night a Worcester politician introduced "Senator Udall" to the crowd. Udall is still struggling for recognition, but may yet do well, or even win tomorrow. He should certainly do well in Cambridge, even without an endorsement from rumored-supporter President...
