Norman Bie Jr of Clearwater, longtime Wallace supporter, criticized the California delegation ruling as improper after the party allowed 120 delegates to rule on the challenge to 151 California delegates. The Florida attorney, chosen for his procedural knowledge, said the move looked like railroading. He praised Nixon but remained a lifelong Democrat and hinted he would fade if McGovern secures the nomination.
