The election eye...Idaho Democrats take key convention role Item Info

A newspaper article discussing: The Idaho Democratic delegation has 17 votes but could still have some influence, especially with Cy C. Chase, a Ted Kennedy supporter, on the rules committee. His role might help push for an open convention where delegates can vote freely. Even so, polls show Jimmy Carter is still popular in Idaho, though many Democrats are unsure he can beat Ronald Reagan in the general election.
