Oregon primary tests Kennedy close race in Portland
In Portland Oregon the 1968 Democratic primary tightens as Kennedy risks California loss without a Oregon victory. Public and private polls show a wafer thin Kennedy edge over McCarthy while Republican efforts to slow Nixon include Reagan boosters and Rockefeller write ins. Labor backers push Johnson votes to dilute Kennedy while Nixon aims for 50 percent.
