Analysis: The Democrats and the White House

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Watergate and last year's Congressional Elections appeared to leave the Democrats as the major party in the United States but, as the campaign for the Presidential nomination gets under way. President Ford seems to be firmly in the driving seat. With potential candidates as different as Hubert Humphrey and George Wallace can the Democrats translate their success in getting Congressional votes into Presidential votes? Is a discernible platform emerging? Gerald Priestland has been back to the United States talking to leading Democrats and testing the temperature of American political opinion.
