Nixon switched the conversation to two Republican governors, Reagan of California and Nelson Rockefeller of New York. Both men unsuccessfully sought the 1968 Republican presidential nomination that Nixon received.

Maybe my memory is going bad, but I can not recall RR runing for the nomination in 68. Reagan might have been a 'favorite son' for the California deligation, but I for the life of me do not remember his campaigning then. I recall Nixon, Rockey, Scranton of PA, and as always, Harold Stassen.

I didn't think so either, but apparently he did. This site describes it as half-hearted.
