interesting historical context.

this is an ad that the johnson campaign produced but never ran.

goldwater had renounced the endosement and they assumed the press would point this out and people were smart enough to understand it was meaningless. they were afraid of a backlash.

fast forward 44 years and you have the mccain campaign running ayers as an issue.

i don't know if the johnson campaign overestimated our intelligence or mccain's is underestimating it. or maybe johnson's people just calculated they didn't need it. they were romping and that's a big diff with mccain.

it still pains me to see a decent man like mccain reduced to this level of debate. it has to be hard for him.
