Rockefeller Confident of GOP Nomination Drive
Gov Nelson Rockefeller, arriving in Miami Beach, said he would win the Republican nomination from Nixon and Reagan. He predicted Nixon would secure about 500 first ballot votes to 300 for Nixon and about 200 for Reagan, with momentum building for a later convention shift to New York. Rockefeller aides claimed they had stalled Nixon by withholding early-ballot votes to force a convention shift.
