Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Back in the day, 1964... I was Press Chairman for Harris County Youth for Goldwater--
And my Mom was life long Democrat... who shutter when she walked into my room--
Those were the days... even if we lost!
BTW..if you ever want to stump any Republicans of the same age, just ask them who was Goldwater's running mate?
What “Bush” was that bumper sticker on the wall for? Preston?
I was a 26 year old mother of a one year old handing out Goldwater fliers in Parma Heights, Ohio. Thirteen years later I was on a murder trial jury and in a social visit with the Judge afterwards said I had never met another person who admitted to being a Goldwater voter. He held out his hand to shake mine. That former one year old baby is the one who chose my screen name for me; he remembered my unsuccessful quest. My sons always said I was to the right of Atila the Hun! :)
My brain is thawing out—it happens when you have oldtimer’s disease. JFK was assassinated in 1963—Nov 22??—so LBJ would have run in ‘64. So my son would have been 5. As they say, We get too soon oldt and too late schmart!
