"But since he is not a candidate, I intend to vote for his candidate." Up rose the audience to give a standing ovation to the toastmaster's hero, Republican Senator Barry Morris Goldwater of Arizona.* In mostly Democratic Jacksonville, many Democrats were among the 500 who had paid $25 each into the Republican campaign fund to hear Goldwater tell them to vote for Dick Nixon.

Just as bold on his own Hudson, where he is currently running for Congress in a Republican-dominated, midstate New York district. Democrat Vidal recently boasted, "I say 80% of what I think-a hell of a lot more than any politician I know." Not that it was likely to make much difference.
