...liberal electorate and could hurt the Democratic nominee in a close election. A nationwide Gallup poll, taken from Aug. 6 to Aug. 9, gave McCarthy 6% of the vote. That figure could be larger in some crucial Northern states-enough to tilt them out of the Democratic column. In California, a Mervin Field poll, taken between July 24 and Aug. 3, gave McCarthy 7% of the vote...
...David Sanford, former managing editor of the liberal New Republic who once collaborated with Nader on a book (Hot War on the Consumer). In a slim 135-page critique, Me & Ralph, Sanford seems obsessively concerned about his personal problems in editing the prickly Nader's syndicated newspaper column and about Nader's deteriorating relations with the New Republic. Sanford and Nader fell out over these not uncommon editor-author frictions in 1973.

It is a matter of adaptation to political reality. Roosevelt had his Garner; Adlai Stevenson his Jim Crow running mate, John Sparkman; John Kennedy his Lyndon Johnson-it is a tradition as old as Jackson and Calhoun."
