...coalition of McCarthy and Kennedy (with strong, progressive Mexican-American support) forces is very close to taking over the state organization. They controlled about forty-five per cent of last summer's party convention and won a proportionate number of seats on the national convention delegation. Party elections are in January; following the November elections the Kennedy-McCarthy coalition hopes to organize precinct by precinct to rest control from the corrupt party organization in January...
...base they might work out to local and then state-wide candidate contests. Gilligan, U.S. Rep. Charles Vanik, former astronaut John Glenn, and black Humphreyite Cleveland Mayor Carl Stokes all may play prominent roles in a liberal-based party move to retake the state from a decade of GOP control...
Liberal McCarthvites have control of the party--but barely. They realize consolidation and a strong issue-base are the only answers to the problem.

McCarthy and Kennedy people never merged following the assassination, since the McCarthy slate had been elected in the May primary. Much of the Kennedy organization was out-of-state, leaving the McCarthy machine few with which to form a viable coalition. Re-electing Sen. Wayne Morse occupy most liberals this fall...

The 7000-member McCarthy organization--with a heavy dose of academicians--will probably go for a Democratic Coalition like the CDC after the election. Affluent McCarthyites have increased their control by giving generously this fall to moderate party candidates. If Hoff runs for the U.S. Senate in 1970, the liberal Coalition will most likely provide his base of support...
