Barry Goldwater lost becuase he was a very uninspiring poltician. He was also a very poor politician. He spoke before the AFL-CIO and lectured them on what they were doing wrong. Would have been best to just stay away.
He won the nomination the same way Obama has won his. Better organization and steamroller tactics. The fates of both will probably be the same.
The one consolation in 1964 was watching the most eloquent and powerful spokesman for conservatsm, Ronald Reagan make "THE SPEECH". No political speech before a or after has inspired me so. It gave hope we would some day have a conservative in the White House. Took 16 years.
Out there somewhere is the next Ronald Reagan. I would love to see Bobby Jindal make his "THE SPEECH". Would help McCain and it would help Jindal.
