| Description: | MS 727 Friendship writing on jet airplane. H/a panning TLS Democratic Presidential candidate JIMMY CARTER walking on tarmac with aides. MS members of the press gathered for press conference in airport; sideview CU man taking still photograph. MSs Jimmy Carter talking to crowd from podium, saying that once the South had shucked the stigma of the race issue, the rest of the nation was ready for a Southern candidate, that in the only part of the nation that he didn't do well in the primaries was the far west but that was mostly because of the strong candidacy of Sen. Frank Church. CU young white woman with long blond hair taking still photograph. “… just a few states during the entire, long 30 state process, that are crucial to you in the number of delegates you acquire…†“…I think this has been the kind of campaign that has erased any lingering sectional boundaries or divisions. After we in the South, we able to throw off the millstone of preoccupation with the race issue, certainly it was a tedious and very hard thing to do - a traumatic experience for us, but once that occurred, I think that this led to groundwork for support by the rest of the nation of a Southern candidate. And because of my success in states like Illinois and Wisconsin and Michigan and Maine and Vermont and New Hampshire and Pennsylvania and so forth, I think this is a good indication that I am able to bring together all parts of the nation. The only part of the country I didn’t do well in was in the far West, but I think that was because of the strong candidacy, in the closing stages, of Senator Church and the home state candidate.†| |
