Only one week ago, on February 10, the slate of delegates met for the first time in a Concord motel and decided to start the campaign in earnest. On that same day, unofficial Kennedy and Reagan write-in groups decided to abandon their efforts...
Whose Favorite? Last week, drawing up the card for the primary, a bipartisan Wisconsin nominating committee was divided on what other candidates to place on the ballot. Nixon, Romney, California Governor Ronald Reagan and, as always, Harold Stassen, were accepted as "generally advocated or recognized" possibilities.
