In any case, how can you give any credence to an analysis of the 1964 election that doesn't mention the assassination of JFK? Does Frum think that we have forgotten?

Frum was born in 1960. In Toronto. He comes from a generation that believes: if it didn't happen to me, it didn't happen.

As a consequence, he has no idea who Barry Goldwater was, what he believed nor what his followers believed (I'm one of them).

Nor does he have any knowledge of the paramount importance of Kennedy's assassination, nor it coitus interruptus impact on politics.

In short, David Frum is an over-educated, misinformed fool.

I know. I was on the Board of NY Youth for Goldwater.

Good one! Of course, we had some from that generation (Sarah Palin, for example, my kid brothers, for another) who were born with their heads screwed on straight because their parents had their heads screwed on straight.

Those of us born in the mid-boomer years (roughly 1953-1960) got to grow up on the tail end of Viet Nam and when the Ford/Carter recession was in full bloom with severe competition for even the poorest of jobs. Some of us were stupid enough to trust Carter and vote for him in 1976. Fewer of us would repeat that error in 1980.

So let it be with Zer0.
