38. I'll stick with my 15%, and will most likely be closer to the result than 28%.

By the way, have you ever participated as a delegate in a State Convention?

I've been a delegate for the last six semi-annual Conventions in my state, most recently last Friday and Saturday. It is most certainly not "a gathering of party apparatchiks" or that "the establishment party officials endorsed the incumbent". I was never told which candidates I should support, and didn't support the ultimate endorsee in each case.

BTW, to give you an idea of the (lack of) magnitude of Nixon's 5%, last weekend a man who recently was released from prison after seven years as the result of a conviction for bribery while in office as Mayor, got 13% of the delegate vote. Five percent is an embarrassment.
