Democratic National Committee Chairman Lawrence F. OBrien says Nixon remains politically strong in 1971 and could win re election if Democrats fail to nominate a strong ticket. He notes Nixon has improved with foreign policy moves and a shift from Nixonomics, while warning the White House stays vulnerable to events and a unified opposition. OBrien aims to raise 15 to 20 million for the campaign and urges party workers to mobilize in primaries to present a compelling case and offset media access.
