He made so much sense on many things. Why didn't he have a better coach? Unfortunately, he came off as whiney rather than convincing. Maybe next time around. Dear Todd,

Blogger  Todd Seavey notes on Goldwater’s 1964 presidential run: That year the Republican platform was so explicitly pro-free enterprise and anti-big government you’d think Ayn Rand wrote most of it. Goldwater lost bigtime to the architect of much of our subsequent big-government despair — Lyndon Johnson — but inspired a generation of later activists, to whom much of the credit goes for whatever success America’s had in avoiding European-style social democracy, at least until roughly now.

Here's hoping some equilibrium is eventually achieved that leaves things on balance more free-market, but who knows. (Or we may need to police the Californian border more to keep the Californians from getting into America -- joking!)
