Pennsylv an ia and California Kingmakers in Demo Race
Preconvention shakedowns point to Pennsylvania and California as potential kingmakers in the Democratic nomination. California Governor Pat Brown leans to Kennedy while Pennsylvania Governor Lawrence backs Symington. If both states back one candidate, Kennedy could win on the first ballot, though opponents doubt this. Delegates and rules maneuvers, plus draft efforts for Stevenson, shape the convention battle amid focus on social security taxes and aging care.
