After the election, there was little doubt that Finch, if he wished, could become a member of the Cabinet. The question that remained was one of his own political ambitions. What he really wanted was to return to California and succeed the ailing Senator George Murphy in 1970. But Murphy told Finch that he intended to run for a second term.
