McCarthy was running on Kennedy's message, and by the time of the convention it didn't matter what McCarthy did (but it would end his career in politics if he didn't endorse RFK), Humphrey wanted to be President and hated Nixon, he would have known that if he got Nixon elected (which he never would've done) he would end any chance he had left of being President). Lastly, compare Robert Kennedy to Richard Nixon in youth, likablity and chrisma, top that off with the fact that Kennedy opposed Vietnam at the RIGHT time and Nixon was done (though it would of been close on election day in all liklyhood)
