AS PRESTOPUNDIT READERS KNOW, IT DIDN'T START WITH DAN RATHER. Quotable:
Goldwater's nomination was in part the result of brilliant "grass-roots" organizing among the party's youth wing. As GOP delegates gathered in San Francisco to choose the party's nominee in July 1964, it was clear that the party's Eastern establishment and its candidates could not withstand the energy, enthusiasm, and high spirits of the Goldwater kids and their Arizona standard-bearer. The media didn't see enthusiasm. They saw Hitler youth.
