"He's an alternative to a one candidate, steamroller lype campaign," said Camiel. "If you only had one candidate at the convention, how would it look to the people?" The McGovcrn delegates considered the shift to Jackson as a sign of bitlerness on the part of the politicians who have held power in (he stale for years. Gerald a a vice chairman of (he McGovcrn caucus, said ho. was distressed because of apparent ill-feelings.
