@greenfield64 RFK had said he'd drop out if he lost California -- what did he expect McCarthy to do if McCarthy lost?
@greenfield64 If RFK had to withdraw after Calif, whom would he have favored--Humphrey or McCarthy, & why? @JohnJHarwood @JoshMankiewicz
@BeschlossDC @JohnJHarwood @JoshMankiewicz He liked Humphrey; thought McC "was not competent to be President." But with the war issue ...?
@greenfield64 @JohnJHarwood @JoshMankiewicz Conceivable that RFK could have moved HHH toward a Vietnam peace plank as price of his support?
@BeschlossDC @JohnJHarwood @JoshMankiewicz (con't) but out of race, compromise more likely. RFK would have had to finesse McC endorsement...
@greenfield64 @JohnJHarwood @JoshMankiewicz Could Ted Kennedy have been nominated at Chicago, had he been willing to accept?
@BeschlossDC @JohnJHarwood @JoshMankiewicz I have no knowledge...I think Mayor Daley post-election implied Ted should have been the nominee.
@greenfield64 @beschlossdc @johnjharwood @joshmankiewicz RJD had detested RFK. McC detested EMK, & LBJ detested them all. So-
@nprscottsimon @greenfield64 @johnjharwood @joshmankiewicz Isn't politics wonderful?
@BeschlossDC Dick Goodwin says RFK asked him to offer McC Sec of State...said in last intvs that if they didn't unite, Humphrey would win.
@BeschlossDC Problem for RFK is that McCarthy had strength in the NY primary 2 weeks after CA. Q. was would many of his backers move?
