The Goldwater Debacle

Barry Goldwater - the intellectual godfather of today's libertarians (like Ron and Rand Paul now he opposed the civil rights act of 1964) - led the Republican Party to its worst defeat in the last 50 years.  Today his successors in the Rejection Front that is today's Republican Party are rallying to Rick Perry whose nomination would set them up for attack ads like this from 1964.  (I would not count these chickens if I were Obama.  A center-right New Englander like Romney is the likely winner here.)
