In San Francisco 1308 delegates will assemble at the Cow Palace in three months to pick a Republican presidential candidate. The choice remains a mystery wrapped in an enigma as deep currents of passion and prejudice reshape party politics and strategy in California and beyond. The ultra-right movement seeks control of the state central committee, shaping policies even if Nelson Rockefeller defeats Barry Goldwater in the June primary.
A decline of moderates in California politics is blamed on ultra right factions within the Republican Party. Critics cite aggressive tactics, long midnight meetings, and intimidation as the right wing reshapes party machinery. Goldwater remains a hero to the far right, though Nixon-era polls show Johnson ahead.
