California blocs back Shriver for VP nomination
Democratic National Committee members predicted a Tuesday acclamation for Sargent Shriver as vice president, saying he wins support from all factions after weeks of uncertainty. George McGovern, who chose Shriver, met with his ally and expects a winning ticket. Shriver, a Kennedy in-law and former Peace Corps head, is viewed as broadly acceptable, with many officials praising the pick as unifying the party. McGovern, relieved the search is over, plans campaign trips next week.
