The Midwest is essentially Nixon country, and although it contains pockets of Rockefeller sentiment, the leaders agreed that the risks would be far too large. Oregon Governor Tom McCall, who had earlier announced a write-in campaign for Rockefeller in his state, invited the New Yorker to challenge Nixon in his bailiwick, where Rockefeller beat Goldwater in 1964 and where Nixon is now vulnerable.

"The key is that Rocky is popular with most of the 26 Republican Governors while Nixon has little support among this group." William Miller, Goldwater's running mate, has also called Rockefeller the party's strongest choice, although...
