...dissolve as a group. The stability of the tutors was not favorable; the image the tutors had hoped to preserve was not favorable; and the accomplishments of the tutors were not at all favorable.

Most other G.O.P. strategists agree. From a commanding lead in the polls right after his impressive re-election victory in 1966, Michigan's Governor has reached a nadir; he is unlikely even to control the entire delegation from his own state.
