Friday, February 16, 1968 The Daily Nebraskan Page 5 rrr n f . r- .7, : 7;y u1l. Assistant professor of political science Dr. Robert Sittig, comments on the 1968 Nebraska presidential primary. Govs. Romney, Reagan, Rockefeller and former Vice President Richard Nixon are running on the Republican ballot President Johnson, Sen. Eugene McCarthy, and George Wallace are contending for the Democratic nomination. Dr. Sittig . . . 'Primary could prove strategic; wide field of possible entries by Mark Gordon Senior Staff Writer President Lyndon Johnson and former Vice President Richard Nixon appear to be In the driver's seat in Ne braska's May 14 presidential primary election, according to Robert F. Sittig, assistant professor of political science, He said all five Republican candidates except former Minnesota governor Harold Stassen could concievably de feat Johnson in .Nebraska's November election, In naming the former vice president as the Republican candidate with the greatest chance to defeat Johnson this November in Nebraska, he said Nixon probably would be unable to beat the incumbent Democrat for the presidency. Sittig based his prediction of a Nixon triumph over Govs. Nelson Rockefeller of New York, Ronald Reagan of California and George Romney of Michigan and Stassen by recalling Nebras ka's 1960 presidential vote. Extraordinary rapport "He (Nixon) seems to have an extraordinary rapport with Nebraskans," Sittig said of the candidate who won his largest margin of victory in Nebraska during his 1960 campaign. In calling Nixon the ideal candidate in Nebraska, Sittig said Rockefeller would have the greatest national appeal against the Democratic nomi nee in November, The task force member of the Republican coordinating committee said he is quite certain the New York Gov ernor has no presidential as pirations because a former high ranking Rockefeller aide has switched his allegiance to Romney. Former state chairman Sittig said Lawrence Linde- mer, a former state Republi can chairman in Michigan, who directed Rockefellers' 1964 Midwest presidential campaign, is now one of the top officials In the Romney campaign. I don't think he would let Lindemer slip away if he was going to run," Sittig said in explaining the New York Re publican has until March 15 to withdraw his name from the Nebraska ballot. He said the Nebraska pri mary could prove strategic depending upon the outcome of both party races. McCarthy performance "H McCarthy (Minnesota Sen. Eugene) should unseat Johnson here, it would be re markable although it would probably be a disservice to Nebraska Democrats since the delegates would probab ly support Johnson," he said He said the Cornhusker state's primary could also re ceive national attention if Romney or Reagan should perform the unexpected and win the support of Nebraska Republicans. Confusion on ballot In stating his opposition to the present Nebraska presi dential primary ballot be cause of the confusion it pre sents to the voter, Sittig called for an alteration of the present ballot. Under the current system the voter chooses the presi dential nominee and the dele gates who may or may not support the voters' candi dates.
