Barry Goldwater
From Senators across the aisle to competing Presidential candidates:
Signed "Barry," Senator Barry Goldwater wrote Senator Lyndon Johnson bluntly expressing his disappointment at of Johnson's acceptance of the Democratic candidacy for Vice President. He wrote, "you were intended for great things, but I don't think you are going to achieve them now." Goldwater's prediction did not quite come true, as four years later Johnson defeated Goldwater in the 1964 Presidential election by one of the largest landslides in history. |
