Conservative group fails to decide on endorsement
  A grass-roots conservative Republican organization on Sunday failed to agree on which GOP presidential candidate it would endorse. The first National Federation of Republican Assemblies convention ended with a vote in which publisher Steve Forbes got 164 votes, or 62.4 percent, with Pat Buchanan getting 99 votes, or 37.6 percent.
