McGovern delegates clash in California showdown at convention
Delegates argued over California representation as McGovern supporters and rivals clashed outside the hall. A 20 minute debate and boos marked the California showdown while 151 disputed delegates kept McGovern within reach of the nomination, with 1,485.35 votes versus 1,509 needed.
