McCarthy Prefers Johnson Over Any Republican Rivals
Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy says he would prefer Johnsons re election to any Republican candidate in the fall race. He notes Nixon is a likely GOP candidate while Rockefeller campaigns deny candidacy and Romney backs Romney. He adds he may evaluate the full picture come fall. The ADA endorsement and Kennedy neutrality shape the race as Wallace eyes a third party bid and Reagans NH backing fades.
