2 "The nomination is still elusive, " said John. "McGovern hasn't got it locked up. 11 Commenting on lively scene at HHH Hdqtrs, Chancellor said: "It looks like the nite the Lusitania didn't sink. 11 Utley reported from McGovern Hdqtrs that McGovern aides now see a closer race with McGovern winning by 5-10%, and they feel that polls may have caused overconfidence. NBC estimated RN would get 90% of vote. (Smith on ABC said RN has nomination wrapped up -- he's safe, for those who were worried, said HKS.) Chancellor said 10% for Ashbrook indicates there could be a problem for RN in Nov. with disaffected con- servatives. Reagan, on tape, represented RN at victory party and he warned against GOP overconfidence and said GOP must increase its registration figures. Chancellor, on NBC, said "It does begin to look like McGovern's day. 11 He indicated that McGovern would probably win, but by less than early margin of 15%. Brinkley said he didn't see why Calif. election officials were upset by nets projections; it's nothing new, he said, as newspapers have put out early election editions for a century. (Thruout evening, nets' frustration -- especially NET and NBC -- was evident over slowdown.) McGovern, on NBC, said: "We're on the way to the nomination." He cited support in industrial state of N.J. and diverse state of Calif. as proof of his appeal, and he said he'd probably win on 1st ballot. He said blacks were voting for him in greater numbers because they were beginning to recognize him and what he stood for. And he said that after N.Y. primary, he'd begin to go after uncommitted delegates. HHH, on NBC, pointed out that he'd won several primaries, and he said the nominee will be named at convention, not in Calif. He'll go on to Miami, no matter the result in Calif. He said he'd spent $11, 000 in N.J. while McGovern had spent $250,000. He said Wallace had done well in primaries, including New Mex., and he "may be the balance of power¹¹ at convention. Finally, he pointed out that Texas, Missouri, and some border states haven't been heard from yet.
