McCloskey challenges Nixon in primaries bid
A political analysis suggests Pete McCloskey may not derail Nixon's path to a second term. The piece compares McCloskey’s bid to Eugene McCarthy’s 1968 challenge, noting McCloskey lacks a defined party base and Senate backing. It argues McCloskey could influence Nixon's image but cannot threaten the nomination, as Vietnam disengagement remains the administration’s course and McCloskey lacks institutional support.
