This will be a campaign to sicken decent and thoughtful people, and the bitterness it will distill will linger long in our national life." The Chicago Daily News found that "for the zealots," Goldwater "has the invaluable ability to give a latent, fear-born prejudice a patina of respectability and plausibility." To the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, "The Goldwater coalition is a coalition of Southern racists, county-seat conservatives...
