...certain that he will not be embarrassed by defections. Moreover, the rules now require that to be placed in nomination in Miami, a candidate must have the support of 50 delegates-no more than 20 of these from any single state. Thus Governors John Gilligan of Ohio, Milton Shapp of Pennsylvania and Marvin Mandel of Maryland, and Senators Harrison Williams of New Jersey and John Tunney of California, all have abandoned plans to run as favorite sons this year...
Other key politicians are beginning to fall into line behind Muskie; both Pennsylvania Governor Milton Shapp and Illinois Senator Adlai Stevenson III are expected by Muskie strategists to endorse their man soon. Muskie now stands about where John Kennedy did in 1959-beginning to pull ahead of his rivals but still not a sure thing.

They are also determined to trim his proposed $3.3 billion budget for fiscal year 1972. If he wants an alternative tax, they insist, he will have to slash his spending by some $200 million. They now have the upper hand because Shapp cannot rely on the Democrats to line up solidly once again behind his tax program. Many resent the fact that Shapp, a Democratic insurgent, has cracked down on patronage throughout the state...
