Barry Goldwater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Barry Morris Goldwater (January 1, 1909 - May 29, 1998) was a United States politician who was a founding figure in the modern American conservative movement in the USA. Goldwater personified the shift in balance in American politics from the Northeast to the West and South. A five-term United States Senator from Arizona (1953-1965, 1969-87), he was the Republican Party's candidate for the President in the 1964 election, which he lost by a landslide to incumbent Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson. His weak showing dragged to defeat many long-term Republican officeholders from Congress to the local level. William E. Miller of New York was his running mate on the 1964 ticket. ..." |

"The iconic Arizona senator offered 'a choice, not an echo' in his laughably doomed 1964 presidential campaign. He bridged the tradition of Western individualism with the then-barely-glimpsed future of Sunbelt anti-governmentism, inspiring later revolts such as California's Prop. 13." |
