Well, Ford was going to carry KS anyway. Ford needed either a southerner or an easterner. Schweiker increased the likelihood of Reagan winning the nomination — possibly decreased the likelihood of winning the ‘76 general...we’ll never know though.

No, no. I meant Reagan's choice of Schweiker in the primary decreased his chances of winning the nomination. Conservatives were puzzled and very unhappy with the choice.
