...Idaho's four delegates-at-large. Only in Minnesota was he rebuffed, winning only one delegate to Ford's 17. In the remaining state conventions, Reagan should at least hold his own against the President, leaving Ford with a dangerously thin lead. Next weekend the Californian is expected to win 18 out of 25 delegates in Colorado and nine out of 18 in North Dakota, although the President could pick up two or three more than anticipated. On July 17, the last day of conventions, Reagan will probably win in Utah by 17 to 3, while Ford should...
...Ford led Reagan in committed delegates 1,050 to 977 (needed to nominate at the convention in August: 1,130). But Reagan has been catching up, and he will further narrow the President's lead in the eight state conventions between now and mid-July. In these, the Californian should win between 86 and 97 delegates, v. Ford's 64 to 75. The future contests...
...showdown, but a real dilemma about the second slot. With 1,000 or more Reagan delegates on the floor, the convention is sure to have a conservative set of mind. The President cannot afford to antagonize Reagan, and yet Ford's advisers say he does not want the Californian on the ticket. He considers Reagan too far to the right to provide the proper ideological balance. But if Ford is nominated by only a skimpy margin, he faces two unappealing options: he can buck the Reagan delegates and dare to pick his own man, or he can throw open...
...rallying cry of a host of rivals who sense that he is vulnerable. In the past two weeks he has beaten Udall by 2% in Connecticut and .3% in Michigan, lost a squeaker to Frank Church in Nebraska, and has been clobbered by Brown in Maryland. This week Californian Brown is favored to win neighboring Nevada, and Church to carry his native Idaho. But Carter is working hard at holding his edge in Oregon and is a safe bet in Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee. Carter is still the odds-on favorite for the nomination, but as Laurence Radway, Democratic party...
...there was no doubt that Ronald Reagan believed attacking Secretary Kissinger was good politics. Again and again the Californian lashed out at the Administration for adopting the policies that have inflamed the Republican right wing: Kissinger's having "bowed and scraped" before the Soviet Union in his efforts to maintain detente; his negotiations to "give away" the Panama Canal; his overtures to Fidel Castro last year; his purported pessimism about the future of America and the free world...
