...some counts, the President now has about a fourth of the 1,130 delegates needed to win the nomination in August. He has won 88 delegates in primaries, can count on getting about 150 in the New York (April 6) and Pennsylvania (April 27) primaries, which Reagan is in effect skipping as unwinnable, and seems likely to pick up about 100 in such non-primary caucus states as Iowa, Oklahoma and Washington...

Yablonski needed the support of 50 local unions to get on the December ballot, which he expected to get from his southern Pennsylvania power base of 68 locals. He would end up with 98 endorsements. Nader wanted him to campaign more during the summer of 1969, something Yablonski felt he couldn't do. He thought if he spent too much time away from his job, Boyle would fire him.
