Mark Shields, a Washington-based Democratic campaign consultant, believes the "problem is that...
...vacuum created when Senator Edward Kennedy declined to enter the contest. The Muskie team has put together a proficient political organization and plans to field a tough-to-beat delegate slate that will help Muskie capture all of the convention votes from Massachusetts.
