Against overpowering evidence, Humphrey himself maintains a visceral conviction that he can still win. "I'm down in the Farm Belt and in the Rocky Mountains," he says. "I know that. But I'm going to win the big states and the big electoral vote, and I'm going to win the election." Jetting from New York to Texas to California last week, seeking to rekindle traditional party loyalty among Jews, Negroes and Spanish-Americans, Humphrey rasped appeals and encouragement to his troops...
...declared in Biblical tones: "We will proceed as a Government in exile, and as a people in exile." The result has certainly been confusing. In New York, McCarthy joined a successful lawsuit to have his name removed from the ballot, thus preserving Humphrey's slim chance to win the state's 43 electoral votes.

Five Republicans-Illinois' Everett Dirksen, New Hampshire's Norris Cotton, New York's Jacob Javits, Utah's Wallace Bennett and Vermont's George Aiken-are likewise rated as shoo...
...President Johnson's most adamant critics on Viet Nam. It is a posture that does not sit well with some Idahoans. He is also bucking a G.O.P. tide that seems certain to deliver the state to Nixon. Yet even his enemies concede that Church is likely to win a third term, defeating a determined challenge by conservative Congressman George V. Hansen...
