Reagan Rejected by Two California Republican Groups
In Los Angeles on Sunday Ronald Reagan was rejected by two grassroots California Republican groups. The California Republican League backed Ford 388 to 10, deeming Reagan too far right. The United Republicans of California opposed both Ford and Reagan, calling them highly socialistic and refusing to endorse either. Kenneth Gow, new president of the conservative group, said delegates’ lack of support showed disillusionment with politicians who voice conservative themes yet push left leaning policies.
