Buckley Tank: Buckley considering presidential bid unsettles Ford Reagan
As Ford and Reagan campaigned in Kansas City delegates watched for Buckley to enter the race. Buckley said he would only aim to deadlock the convention on the first ballot, while New York Republicans warned against his running and favored Ford.
