Editorial: Party switch not a miracle for Lindsay
The piece argues John Lindsay’s shift from Republican to Democrat won’t magically fix New York and won’t clinch a 1972 presidential bid. It notes past party switches by Roosevelt Morse Rockefeller Daley Thurmond, and stresses party labels matter little in American politics, as ideology remains unclear-cut. It concludes voters may stay true to past choices regardless of Lindsay’s party.
