1968 Nomination Map

[True Democrat]

I'm writing a research paper on the 1968 election for school, I thought it'd be cool to post this map for the Democratic nomination vote.  This the vote at the convention, not the primaries:



Red: Humphrey
Blue: McCarthy
Green: McGovern
Gray: Phillips (DC should be >90%)

I'll post the Republican map later when I have time.

Awesome

Did the Canal Zone cast votes in any general elections?

Did the Canal Zone cast votes in any general elections?

I'm guessing that most of the people were just registered in one of the states.

Cool. I want 1972 and 1976!!!

[True Democrat]

Cool. I want 1972 and 1976!!!

Unfortunately I don't have those.

If you go to Theodore White's The Making of the President series, he has the ballots in the index.

Did the Canal Zone cast votes in any general elections?

It never had a non-voting delegate in Congress if that's what you mean.

But, how was it treated for voting purposes?  As a non-voting territory?

[Keystone Phil]

Ugh. Unfortunately the RINOs had their way here in 1968 by voting for Rocky.

[Reaganfan]

While I like Rockefeller, I would have voted for Nixon in the primary.

[True Democrat]

While I like Rockefeller, I would have voted for Nixon in the primary.

Your vote in the primary would not have made a difference.  Rhodes was your favorite son and therefore he got the delegates.

[Lincoln Republican]

Excellent work, TD.

As a point of interest, Rocky seems to have been in much the same position as Rudy is in now.  Rocky then, like Rudy now, was the favorite of the public, and was shown to be the strongest candidate against any Democrat.  But Rocky, like Rudy, was not the favorite of the Republican primary voters.  (Although in the case of Rudy that still remains to be seen.)

Ironic they are both from New York.

And they are both RINOs

It would be interesting to do a map, or some sort of tracking device, to show which delegates had originally been committed to Bobby Kennedy, and who they ultimately wound up voting for.
