...Bush claimed about the same number, while the Kemp camp claimed more than 3,700. Though a little arithmetic reveals that somebody is exaggerating, Robertson clearly prevented Bush from establishing himself as an unrivaled front runner and prevented Kemp from making the race a two-person contest.
