U.S. Senator from Arizona Barry Goldwater was the 1964 Republican Party Presidential Nominee.
Arizona Senator and 1964 Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater.
Barry Goldwater was a five-term U.S. Senator from Arizona and the Republican Party's nominee for President in 1964. He is known for his advocacy of conservative principles, including limited government, free markets, and individual liberties. Goldwater played a key role in shaping the modern conservative movement in the United States.
Paul Fannin (born January 29, 1907 in Ashland, Kentucky; died January 13, 2002 in Phoenix, Arizona) succeeded Ernest McFarland as the eleventh Governor of Arizona, serving between January 5, 1959 and January 4, 1965, including the whole of 1964.
There is no doubt that Barry Goldwater would be accepted in today's Republican Party. Currently the Party is a diversified one with regards to moderates and conservatives. Goldwater was a conservative and his policies and actions while being a Senator and his statements as a presidential candidate certainly were close enough to the Party's center to have the Party name him as their candidate for the 1964 presidential elections.
It was a well-received speech Reagan made in 1964 on television in support of the Republican presidential candidate Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona. At the time, Reagan was an actor who had recently moved from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party. Even though Goldwater lost badly in the election, many of Reagan's friends were impressed by his speech and persuaded him to get involved with politics, and in 1966 Reagan was elected Governor of California.
