That's what sold me on Reagan. He said something like 'I don't know about all this stuff -- but I know how to find people who do'. After Ike and Mamie it seemed like a breathe of fresh air -- like Obama.

The John Birch Society was handing them out and campaigning for Goldwater. 'Landslide' gets thrown around casually, but '64 can't be described any other way. I don't know how Kennedy would have handled the Vietnam pig in a poke that Eisenhower left him but Johnson turned it into a debacle.
