Favorite Sons Could Cause Trouble in Nomination Race
Republicans face a near record crop of favorite son contenders who could deliver up to 350 votes at the San Francisco convention. If eight home-state candidacies materialize, Barry Goldwater and Nelson Rockefeller may fall short of 655 needed votes. Ten primaries remain influential totaling 299 convention votes, with Wisconsin Ohio and Pennsylvania moved to favorite son plans. Scranton is seen as a potential early beneficiary of New Jersey’s 40 votes.
