...draft cut that struck many a voter as a blatantly political move. He issued favorable economic figures to blunt the inflation issue (Pollster Lou Harris reported afterward that it had proved a particularly injurious factor for the Democrats nonetheless). He took a savage swipe at Nixon, thereby giving the "chronic campaigner" a boost that may find its way into the history books. And, in denying that he had been planning a last-minute blitz of twelve to 15 states, Johnson advertised his lack of veracity to millions who were even then preparing for his visit...
