Why Goldwater Can Defeat Johnson

Three times Goldwater has been declared officially dead: after the assassination of President Kennedy, after the New Hampshire primary, and after the Oregon primary. Three times the assembled punditry of press and television, reinforced by the political and intellectual leaders of the Liberal Establishment, have spread the good news through the length and breadth of the country. But, each time, like the fabled phoenix,Goldwater has risen from the ashes to confound the wishful prophets.
