Time Was Against Rocky From Start
Gov. Nelson Rockefeller's bid for the Republican presidential nomination failed due to late entry. Analysts say a March 1 hesitation harmed his standing, allowing Nixon to gain momentum while Rockefeller poured millions into ads and a nationwide campaign. The delay cost him support and time to build a cohesive race plan.
