I wanted to give y'all a state of the race update since we're several states into primary season. Other than that, we should try to get back to our regularly scheduled programming and hopefully if y'all get your events in on time we can have the Nebraska and West Virginia primary results tomorrow night. Have a great night and Love y'all!

Nixon has a meeting with Florida Governor, Claude R. Kirk. Jr. Hoping to gain his endorsement ahead of the Florida Primary, if Governor Kirk accepts, Nixon urges him to run as a Favorite Son in Fusion with Nixon… in order to ensure the state goes to Nixon at the convention. Kirk Jr. worked on the Nixon campaign in 1960 and was critical in making Florida go red… no reason he shouldn’t now. Nixon commends the Governor’s ability to win tough elections and talks about his plans to pass the Dirksen Amendment with his good friend, Everett Dirksen. Finally, Nixon also discusses the spot of the RNC for the year… Miami Beach looks like the perfect place for it.

 

Nixon, ecstatic about his win in Ohio heads home… to Los Angeles, California, for a rally. At the rally Nixon talks about his experience, electability, and how California was where it all started for him. Nixon discusses the future of the Cold War; The Space Race. Nixon pledges to do his best to get a man on the moon before 1970. At the end of the rally Nixon mentions all of the people who have endorsed him, and finally ends on a note of returning the country to Law and Order. Saying that believes the silent majority is fed up with the burning in the streets, the flag burning, and the hippies disturbing the peace. In a Nixon Administration, he promises to act more in line with the wishes of the American people, unlike Johnson; and then we can finally have Law and Order. 

 

Nixon heads back to Texas for a final meeting with Senator John Tower. 

Nixon, appearing in a somewhat more cheerful mood given his big win in Ohio, Nixon discusses with Tower his plans to create a new Cabinet position if he is elected President. Which would be passed alongside the Dirksen Amendment. The new position will be called, “Secretary of State for Local Government.” The position will play a role just like any other Senior Cabinet position but its unique role would be to advise the President, and have a say on every bill the President signs. The person in the position would have to be knowledgeable with state laws, and local laws. The main goal of the position is to ensure cooperation between the President and the states in hopes to ease concerns of State’s Rights on certain bills. Nixon is hesitant to offer the position to Tower given his seniority in the Senate, but Nixon is ready to give it to him or allow him to name his choice for the job. Everything Nixon discussed previously with Tower is still on the table of course... All Nixon asks in return is that he ensures Texas is delivered to Nixon at the RNC. 

 

Everett Dirksen announces his intention to form a fusion ticket with Richard Nixon in the upcoming Illinois Primary.

Kennedy influences moderates. 

Kennedy influences liberals. 

Kennedy influences blacks.

Influence (1!): RFK has more trouble with moderates. More ill-timed remarks and the looming shadow of McGovern's endorsement make traction hard.

Influence (7): RFK continues to build influence among liberals, engaging turnout.

Influence (6): RFK's popularity among black voters rise as he slowly supplants LBJ as the leader in the black voter, championing the working class black American.

Overalll: -2. RFK keeps buildng enthusiasm where it counst but struggles with moderate votes.

Rally (5): The rally  does little to change hearts and minds.

Schmooze (3): New York is a tough cooke to break RFK's hold on.

Influence (7): Senator Cannon will support you!

Overall: 0. Johnson fails to break into the headlines this week.

Rally (10!) The coal miners love the special attention and the unions rapidly line up behind Wallace in West Virginia!

INfluence (9): After Wallace's elecrtric rally, support in West Virginia is growing rapidly.

Rally (8): The rally is well-received and Wallace draws a crowd, even if the great plains are a bit more hostile to him.

Overall: +13. Wallace has an extremely strong week as he zooms forward in West Virginia.

Influence (9): The Governor is a fan and is ready to endorse Nixon!

Rally (5): Nixon delivers a strong message but is beset by continual interruption by Reagan-Goldwater types. All-in-all, a wash.

Influence (10!): Tower loves the new ideas! He says he will try to whip Texas as hard as he can for Nixon.

Overall: +10. Nixon has a great week in Florida and Texas that translate into some national press coverage.

Rally (4): We do indeed get the idea, and while so did the folks in the room, nationally Goldwater's messaging seemed just a bit *too* conservative on certain issues. I think you get the idea.

Influence (2): They don't like you.

Rally (10!): Miami does though! A great turn of event for his week in Miami.

Overall: +2. Goldwater's week is saved by some serious momentum gathering in Florida.

Nelson Rockefeller holds a rally in California. He talks about his liberalism and track record as Governor of New York

Clifford Case has a rally with Rockefeller in New Jersey

Nelson Rockefeller has a meeting with California Republican Party bosses and askes for their endorsement

Rally (1!): This message does not play well in California. The Party has been turned to the right considerably since it was taken over by Governor Reagan. Even Nixon is finding himself attempting to re-establish his image.

Rally (1!): Unfortunately for Rockefeller, Case falls off the stage and when he gets back up he thanks the fine people of New Hampshire for their support as their Senator. He is later found to be ok with a benign lump on his head at the hospital.

Schmooze (1!): The bosses, most of whom are indebted to Reagan for rejuvenizising the California Party, laugh Rockefeller out of the room.

Overall: -15. Ouch. I guess you could call that more than a "Rocky" week. yeah, sorry for making it worse I'll move on.

Lynch rallies in Orange County California. 

Influence (5): Mostly a wash as moderates choose between others and Lynch makes median headway.

Rally (10!): The rally is electric and Orange county loves the Lynch message.

Overall: +6. Lynch builds when he needs it, directly ahead of the California primary.

Alright guys! For the first time in what feels like forever, we can breathe! There is no rush to get in events (though earlier is always appreciated!). This is because there is no primary at the end of this turn! We will take this week off and get us to May 22nd. At the next of the next turn, however, be prepared for the Florida and Oregon primaries. I hope y'all are well and I look forward to getting back into the swing of things as we approach the end of the primary season and get into caucuses and the conventions. Love y'all!

Happy Flavamaking!

Influence (4): Baker isn't biting.

Rally (10!): The Casework works wonders for Case! The campaign is rejuvenated as the Senator's popularity bounces back up in New Jersey.

Rally (4): A below average rally that fails to pack a bunch.

Overall: +5. Senator Case bails Rockefeller out of a lackluster week with an innovative idea that helps the campaign significantly in New Jersey.

Endorsement (2): Tower helps Nixon in Texas, but he seems out of his depth in California and the voters are bored by his presence, not understanding what he's doing there. They've never even heard of him.

Endorsement (4): Kirk gives a decent speech which appeals to moderate and liberal voters.

Influence (9): Strong performance!

Influence (4): Not as strong but it's an overall gain for Nixon this week with the Eisenhowerians.

Rally (3): Lindsay isn't as well received across the river as he is at home.

Nixon: +6. The endorsements of powerhouses Tower and Kirk give him major news coverage about Nixon's growing hold of the establishment, particularly in Texas and Florida.
