McCarthy's victory confirmed the speculation of those who recalled that the Minnesota Senator had run several percentage points ahead of election-eve polls in Indiana and Nebraska, apparently taking a substantial majority of the undecided vote both times. In this sense, the Oregon outcome was consistent with the first two Kennedy-McCarthy encounters...
...District I tournament is a double elimination contest. This means that the four teams will play among themselves until three of them have lost twice. The survivor will go on to the National championships in Omaha, Nebraska...
...Last Push. Oregon and California will present new problems to Kennedy. Oregon is underdog territory, and McCarthy's campaign there is better organized than it was in either Nebraska or Indiana. Although the Minnesotan himself appears discouraged, his troops on the West Coast seem to be of a mood to give one last push for Gene.

Tiemann, to be sure, exaggerated Reagan's performance. Nebraska is Tory turf, and Reagan's conservative theme was more enthusiastically received there than it might have been elsewhere. Still, even...
