ABC News Special, April 4th, 1972:


Smith: Howard K. Smith here from Milwaukee, reporting on the latest four contests in the Democratic and Republican primaries. With candidates and voters feeling a bit shellshocked following the abrupt demise of democratic frontrunner Mayor John Lindsay, the momentum has been changing by a lot on the past days, as attack ads and turnout machines have proved more relevant than ever. There's a lot of insight to be shared, but in the meantime let's take a look at the full GOP results:


Republican WI Primary:

Richard Nixon: 56.31% (19)
Barry Goldwater Jr: 43.69% (15)

Republican SC Caucus:

Richard Nixon: 52.46% (13)
Barry Goldwater Jr: 47.54% (12)

Republican MO Caucus:

Richard Nixon: 62.77% (25)
Barry Goldwater Jr: 37.23% (12)

Republican MN Caucus:

Richard Nixon: 80.01% (27)
Barry Goldwater Jr: 19.99% (7)

Smith: There were clear fears of a Goldwater victory in South Carolina and even Wisconsin, which would have put the President in major trouble going west. As it stands, it seems Goldwater has missed his best chance until the South votes in May to deliver a crippling blow to Nixon, as the President was widely percieved to have been in command this week with an energetic campaign and some rather effective efforts. Mr. Goldwater continues to perform rather well as a serious candidate and his delegate bloc gives him a lot of power even if he fails to overturn the Nixon bloc of delegates, but his campaign will need a heavy boost from the coming caucuses if he is to unseat the President from his throne. Now the Democrats:


Democratic WI Primary:

George McGovern: 32.08% (25)[/color]
Ed Muskie: 18.12% (14)
Fred Harris: 16.41% (12)
Sam Yorty: 15.39% (11)
Eugene McCarthy: 15.03% (10)
John Lindsay: 2.97%

Democratic MN Caucus:

Eugene McCarthy: 36.20% (30)
Ed Muskie: 21.03% (15)
Fred Harris: 18.05% (12)
Sam Yorty: 15.77% (10)
George McGovern: 6.89%
John Lindsay: 2.06%

Democratic MO Caucus:

Fred Harris: 38.19% (20)
Ed Muskie: 26.12% (13)
Sam Yorty: 25.30% (12)
George McGovern: 8.46%
John Lindsay: 1.93%

Democratic SC Caucus:

Sam Yorty: 32.76% (13)
Fred Harris: 21.76% (7)
Uncommitted: 21.58% (6)
George McGovern: 16.41% (5)
Ed Muskie: 4.12%
John Lindsay: 3.37%[/b]

Smith: These results are all over the board to be frank, McCarthy, Harris and Yorty finding success in the caucuses as McGovern scores the big prize in the high publicity Wisconsin Primary, a very needed boost for the South Dakota Senator. Lindsay voters scrambled to many different candidates, but it's safe to assume this means good news for most of the field for the time being. The South Carolina caucus was widely believed to be going on Harris direction on the last days, until he was badly hit by the exposure of his support for busing, a very unpopular decision with Southern voters which enabled Yorty to sail to victory even if the blow was blocked by a massively efficient Harris machine in Missouri. McCarthy also coasts as a favourite son on his state, but many wonder about the Senator's real message at this stage. Finally, this also comes as a relief to Senator Muskie in some ways, his levels of support outside the South gaining after Lindsay's demise. But it is for certain that the Senator will need to win states if his campaign is to survive at all.

Statement from the Office of Congressman John G. Schmitz

  Today Congressmen Schmitz, Scherele, Ashbrook, Stieger, Rarick and Rousselot and Senator Buckley all introduced in the House and Senate respectively introduced Articles of Impeachment against President Richard M. Nixon for failure to support the Constitution by not upholding the oath of office by supporting foreign enemies over our allies across the country and breaking federal law.

Not allowed and not acknowledged. I have recieved no request to use the signature of the previously mentioned members of Congress, nor would Articles of Impeachment against Nixon be realistic at this stage even by ultra conservatives.

Turn begins tonight.

Turn Ten: Caucus Extravaganza:
April 5th to April 17th, 1972


In the News!

Wallace suspends campaign
Following weeks of speculation, George Wallace suspends his campaign for President, will he re-enter before it’s too late?

War Powers Act approved by the Senate:
68-16 vote would reduce the power of the President to conduct war without congressional approval, it goes to the House

Biological Weapons Convention signed by USSR and US
Nixon, Podgorny signed convention in their respective capitals

Bombing Campaign in North Vietnam increases
In response to the ARVN attacks, US mass bombs Haiphong

1.- Caucus Extravaganza: Now this is where it starts to get tough. Eight states will announce their results at the end of this turn, Kansas, Virginia, Alaska and Hawaii set for April 11th, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Utah set for April 17th. This means that you have two weeks to contest these caucuses, which above all rely on good organization and good ground game, thus forcing you to be quite careful in choosing what to do and where to do so.

2.- Primary Deadline: A massive one as you need to qualify for most of the May Primaries. This turn you can file in for Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Nebraska, West Virginia and North Carolina.

3.- Wallace/Gravel: Senator Gravel has expressed that he will withdraw from the race soon, but he will still be treated as a candidate for game purposes until a speech is out. Wallace has also expressed he won’t be able to play, and thus I’ve suspended his campaign. He is a very crucial character, so if a new player wants him, he’s still available for a comeback.

Gallup: President Nixon's Approval Rating:

Approve: 53% (-3)
Disapprove: 36% (+4)
Undecided: 11% (-1)

Gallup: 1972 Presidential Election:


Richard M. Nixon: 43%
Generic Democrat: 40% (+2)
John G. Schmitz: 6% (+4)
Undecided: 10% (+4)

Primary Polling

Gallup: Republican Primary:

Richard Nixon: 70% (+5)
Barry Goldwater Jr: 26% (-1)
Undecided: 5% (-4)

While he hasn’t landed tough blows to cripple Goldwater’s public image, “Tricky Dick” asserts himself again as the clear favorite having won all contests so far, yet a crucial challenge appears for him as he tries to master the remaining caucuses and, of course, a South which is still wary of his performance. On the other hand, Goldwater is starting to slip in delegates, so winning states is a must for him lest his efforts collapse on a lack of success.

Gallup: Democratic Primary:

Ed Muskie: 22% (+4)
Sam Yorty: 22% (+6)
George McGovern: 20% (+5)
Fred Harris: 18% (+6)
Eugene McCarthy: 10% (+3)
Mike Gravel: 2% (-1)
Undecided: 6% (+3)

Sheer chaos. Not only the frontrunner has died, but four candidates won contests at the beginning of April, putting the race on a major confusion. Out of name recognition Muskie and Yorty fight off for the leadership of the race, and thus the upcoming caucuses, and, even more important, the Pennsylvania and Massachusetts Primaries will be decisive in creating a frontrunner. Harris and McGovern continue to surge as representatives of the populist wing and the anti-war wing, but Harris should be wary of a potential weakness of his, as Yorty cleverly used busing support to wound him in South Carolina.

Morgens Cuts Check and Runs
NIXON NOW MORE THAN EVER

Former presidential candidate and Procter & Gamble CEO Howard Morgens withdrew his support for Barry Goldwater Jr and endorsed President Richard Nixon.

"My campaign was about America's people and America's greatness. In the time since I ended my campaign, President Nixon has shown tremendous leadership, extraordinary vision, and resolute optimism about America's standing in at home and abroad. We have seen the President do the impossible: make negotiation work for America.

I will freely admit that I am a convert on this. As an opponent, I scoffed at and attacked President Nixon's efforts to achieve detente with certain Communist countries. But today, however, I recognize the President's brilliant and unlikely success in making America's position in the world stronger.

Looking back on it, I had the same feeling that no doubt many before me have felt. Why in the hell did I bet against Richard Nixon? It was a bad bet then, and it's a bad bet now. I consider it my distinct honor to throw my support behind President Nixon's re-election bid. I have written my first campaign contribution to the President and I assure him that if he keeps up the tremendous work, there will be more on its way."

3. George McGovern - 15.02%
4. Fred Harris - 12.77%
5. John Lindsay - 11.93%
6. Eugene McCarthy - 11.22%
7. Uncommitted - 4.40%
8. Mike Gravel - 3.78%

Fred Harris-Your Candidate(TV)
Apologies for using the same image as before; Fred Harris was not very photographed

"Having grown up on a farm in rural Oklahoma, Senator Fred Harris knows what it's like to grow up poor and underprivileged and he certainly hasn't forgotten his roots. His record tells his story. As a lifelong activist for the poor, Senator Fred Harris has enthusiastically supported the expansion of anti-poverty programs, be they for inner cities or for rural areas. Moreover, his votes show the story of a man committed to a better future for all Americans via creating jobs, expanding education, and ensuring that everybody has the same opportunity. Senator Harris stands for the common man and woman. He stands for the striking miners in Kentucky and West Virginia. He stands for the Pittsburgh steelworkers and the Kansas farmer. He stands for the Natives in Montana and the mill worker in Massachusetts. Fred Harris is your candidate. If you're sick of poverty, unemployment, staggering income inequality, and Wall Street's constant abuses, support Senator Fred Harris in your upcoming primary or caucus. Donations can be mailed to: *campaign HQ address here*

Shading corresponds to ad buys. The price shouldn't be too high, as buys are targeted in many states for certain media markets. Moreover, donations generated from the ad will cover much of the cost.

Turn Ten Endorsements for Schmitz!!

The following individual and organization endorsed Congressman John G. Schmitz for President!!!


John Birch Society
Anti- Communist and Conservative Politcal Group
   "John is a great conservative who is passionate for making America great again. We are proud to have him on our national board and endorse him for President, we are proud to announce the national board unamiously endorsed him including myself, the Koch family and others. All of us here are proud to support Schmitz for President and we ask you to also."
The JBS is sending out mailers to all members and will co-sponsor the convention.


Ludwig von Mises
Austrian Economist
   "I'm a very elderly man but this is the first time I'm proud to support a candidate for President and I will do everything in my power to make sure Schmitz is the President for this country that blessed me so much. He's the first Presidential candidate  since Calvin Coolidge who actually gets the gold standard and Austrian economics something that I value. He will bring us back to the gold standard and I am pleased to support and vote for my friend John G. Schmitz for President!!!"
Mises when not resting will tell other people to support Schmitz will attend this weeks Gold Standard town hall in Texas and volunteer at the NYC HQ.



SCHMITZ'S NEWS FOR THE TURN

Earlier in the week Schmitz hired over 90 Wallace leaders from across the south and over 900 volunteers joined the Schmitz campaign

The Independent Convention Comittee asked the Salt Lake Convention Center for a addition of 20,000 seats for the Convention Center which they approved the addition will be ready by April 20

Schmitz named Ludwig Von Mises his economic advisor and wants him as an elector for New York State.

Schmtiz announced the 3,143 coalition which will try to get 3,143 pastors, rabbis etc. on the Schmitz team by May 1.

Morgens Cuts Check and Runs
NIXON NOW MORE THAN EVER

Former presidential candidate and Procter & Gamble CEO Howard Morgens withdrew his support for Barry Goldwater Jr and endorsed President Richard Nixon.

"My campaign was about America's people and America's greatness. In the time since I ended my campaign, President Nixon has shown tremendous leadership, extraordinary vision, and resolute optimism about America's standing in at home and abroad. We have seen the President do the impossible: make negotiation work for America.

I will freely admit that I am a convert on this. As an opponent, I scoffed at and attacked President Nixon's efforts to achieve detente with certain Communist countries. But today, however, I recognize the President's brilliant and unlikely success in making America's position in the world stronger.

Looking back on it, I had the same feeling that no doubt many before me have felt. Why in the hell did I bet against Richard Nixon? It was a bad bet then, and it's a bad bet now. I consider it my distinct honor to throw my support behind President Nixon's re-election bid. I have written my first campaign contribution to the President and I assure him that if he keeps up the tremendous work, there will be more on its way."

Cheesy


Is this allowed? Also when does this turn end?

I don't see why it wouldn't be...

Anyway, if Mod allows, I would really appreciate it if we could have until the end of Saturday, as I'm overwhelmed with band stuff right now and won't have time until then. Thanks! Smiley

I echo what Dar said and hope that we have until tomorrow night, since I don't think a deadline was ever given. I could try to pump out everything tonight, but it wouldn't be nearly as high quality.

If I can I'll take on George Wallace, is he only for the general election, or can he also enter the primaries?

You have until Sunday night, last possible date.

Both, actually. You can enter the primaries (these are open until April ends) if you wish, just like you can enter the general election too. If you enter the GE, it will be Wallace reentering after suspending his campaign, which means he won't be as initially strong as he was before withdrawing.

But there's plenty of time to win back that support and go even further!
