Thomson forecasts conservative splinter party if Reagan loses
Gov. Meldrim Thomson of New Hampshire suggested a conservative splinter party could emerge if Ronald Reagan fails to secure the Republican nomination. A Chicago meeting is planned to consider a rightist platform and a conservative candidate, though Thomson says the move has little chance in November but could shift the political debate to the right. He envisions conservatives expanding influence in two years and potentially winning a presidential nomination in four, while he remains an advocate for conservative causes and not part of the Chicago group. He also said a Reagan nomination would trigger a strong fight over Schweiker as running mate.
