Opponents of the socially conservative Buchanan say he has hijacked their party with his socially conservative views. They have rallied behind a new candidate, Dr. John Hagelin, in an attempt to return the party closer to the views of its founder, Perot. Today the committee is discussing the validity of a mail-in primary, which Buchanan is expected to win easily. A credentials committee will also decide if his delegates will be seated at the convention and allowed to vote to ratify the results of the primary. If the results are thrown out, the delegates can nominate him at the convention.
Presidential race heats up.
