Her effort aims to spur gender precedent and offer a third option beyond Goldwater and Rockefeller.

Scranton Loses Civil Rights Fights at GOP Convention
At the Republican gathering in San Francisco, Scranton’s civil rights plank proposals were soundly defeated by roll call votes amid debates over extremism and nuclear policy. The convention moved toward nominating Goldwater, with leaders like Rockefeller opposing “doctrinaire extremism” while Romney and Byrnes defended stricter civil rights positions. Meanwhile in Moscow, Brezhnev was elected Soviet president with Mikoyan moving to the presidency as Khrushchev reshuffles top leadership.
