Nixon Expected To Hold up Bid Till After Feb. 1
Vice President Richard Nixon plans to delay any announcement of his 1960 GOP presidential bid until after February 1. If he can preserve this schedule he will limit campaigning to under five months before the Republican convention in Chicago next July. His associates favor a soft public approach to avoid a full-fledged campaign early. Nixon may run his own campaign and avoid a formal organization until closer to primaries. Rockefeller’s potential entry could alter plans as Nixon eyes New Hampshire and other primaries including Oregon and California contests.
