Rocky's Big Possibility for 1960
NEW YORK Republican Nelson A Rockefeller's election as governor by more than a half million votes elevated him as a candidate for the 1960 GOP presidential nomination. His decisive win over Averell Harriman contrasted with GOP losses elsewhere and potentially ends Harriman's bid. Rockefeller led with 3,103,056 votes to Harriman's 2,547,837, and Keating won the Senate seat. Rockefeller denies any other plans beyond his four year term though supporters push his potential.
