ElectricMonk Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Alright, I'm starting work on a 1976 campaign and this is the thread to comment and suggest stuff. The reference book I have on me is Jules Witcover's Marathon: Pursuit of the Presidency 1972-1976. If anybody has online resources, speak up please . Most notably I need delegate counts per state. Also does anyone know if it's possible to have candidates enter a race late? Or be in the race but not do anything until triggered by something? Because Jerry Brown & Frank Church both jumped in quite late as the anybody but Carter movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricMonk Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 UPDATED, AGAIN This is what I have so far. Note that I can't model prelim Caucus's so I will treat the first Caucus as the only Caucus (i.e. the final Iowa Caucus for the Democrats was actually the 29th of May). The number is of delegates. I'm not sure if I can properly model Uncommitted Delegate slates, does anyone know if an Uncommitted Candidate that automatically drops out the week of Convention could work? Favourite son candidates and/or delegate slate controllers are bracketed next to their state.

Reagan's national campaign staff has meanwhile doubled, to about 25, and his 40-odd state organizations are rapidly recruiting volunteers. In contrast, Ford's supporters are still relatively disorganized, though the President is shortly expected to name outgoing Commerce Secretary Rogers Morton as campaign coordinator in an effort to pull them together. Reagan's fund raisers have collected about $2 million in private donations, against the Ford organization's $1.7 million. SPENDING 13.1 million (half matching public funds) pre-convention limit. 10% in two consecutive primaries to keep public funds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
