View Point argues Humphrey would win the nomination if California votes this week, with Kennedy second and McCarthy third, and says California cannot alter the balance unless a wave reshapes delegates. It notes Kennedy and McCarthy blocs include Humphrey-friendly machine politicians and warns of two unknowns: a Paris talks breakdown and the convention’s volatile dynamics.
