Later NBC showed various polls which reflected McG's gains
in recent weeks. Still he trailed RN -- 55-45 in Gallup -- in all but
one and that was a new Quayle Poll of Calif. which found McG
leading RN 51-49. And w/Field showing the 2 at 41-41, Chancellor
pointed to Calif's barometer reputation saying these polls could be
important and they also show that McG would not represent the
disaster Goldwater-type year which has been suggested by some.
After film of McG's speech laden w/humor -- "We Can't Believe
We Won the Whole Thing" -- and sorrow -- over RFK -- Chancellor
noted that McG had picked up many of RFK's supporters, and now,
4 years after that death, he "almost has" the nomination picking up
370 new delegates Tuesday.
In a 10 minute special at 11:30 abbreviated from planned 30 min,
CBS said McG won S. Dakota and seems to be leading elsewhere.
With 1% in -- Orange and San Mateo Counties -- McG led 51-36.
A CBS survey of 2, 000 voters statewide found McG ahead by 5 points,
not by as much as the 15-20% margins in polls. And Mankiewicz
was predicting a 5-6% win. Still, said Cronkite, almost all elements
of the electorate backed McG -- all across the board except for the
aging and aerospace workers. (Survey also showed Prop. 9 -- the
strong anti-pollution bill -- going under 2-1.)
CBS came on again around 1:20 and went til 3:30. Note several
times of Wallace's surprisingly strong New Mex. showing where
he'll split delegates 9-9 with McG. CBS predicted McG, after N. Y.
will have 1, 266 delegates. And tho he won all 4 contests Tues, they
weren't the runaways expected.
HHH on CBS/NBC before a happy cheering crowd as he went on
for seeming hours -- good filler for nets whose film libraries were
obviously low -- thanking virtually everyone who had worked for him
in Calif and pointedly directed cameras to his young supporters.
McG on film accepting congrats for record 4-primaries in a day
and for birth of grandson. Chances now better than 50-50, said
George, recalling Muskie/HHH descriptions of Calif. as the decisive
contest. He then emphasized Dem unity and his hopes for a Muskie
or HHH endorsement tho he won't push either man.
