...consensus of party professionals is that Ford will make a guarded offer of the vice presidency to Reagan. Reagan finds this a wry irony. "He doesn't have to worry," says the Californian. "I absolutely will never take that job." Reminded that others in the past have abruptly reversed themselves and accepted the second spot, Reagan sounds absolute. "They were all politicians," he says. "I'm not. I know there's a great deal of cynicism about what I say on this, but I want to be believed." He says he intends to stay free to take...
...reluctant vote for Carter only after looking his hero in the eye and asking him "if he really meant we should support Carter. He told me he really meant it." Skinner expects Wallace supporters to "follow George's advice and vote for Carter over Reagan" if the Californian is nominated...

In these, the Californian should win between 86 and 97 delegates, v. Ford's 64 to 75. The future contests...
