my grandfather always said that LBJ was unbeatable anyways because JFK’s death

Probably true, and unfortunate, because JFK was very beatable.

Goldwater and Kennedy were friends from their days in the Senate. They had hatched a plan wehre they would spend part of the campaign doing a whistle-stop tour together. At the first stop, President Kennedy would come out and speak on an issue and Senator Goldwater would rebut him. They would reverse the order at each stop. Together, they could hve changed the face of American political campaigns. Instead, we got the LBJ smear machine and the little girl picking flowers.

Re: “First Republican I campaigned for ( I was about 9 ).”

Gadzooks! Time flies... don’t it?

I should still be trying to get to second base with Linda Farris’ friend from Katy!

She had really nice bases... And her ball handling wasn't too shabby either!

Hey, take a look... Our bases ain't bad either!

I'd love to, girls... But it is time for my noon nap.

Danny Boy, remember the hair of the dog... is still a dog's hair!

Whoa!!! Is that... a knock on dog hair?
