...demanded the Medford, Ore., Mail Tribune, "should any Republican be attracted to a man who has lost elections, who is a lousy campaigner, who would be the oldest President to be inaugurated since James Buchanan, who is a member of the present Administration, whose views on the issues of the day are completely unknown, and who's 6,000 miles away doing a lousy job of running a nasty little...
...could be measured by a variety of other signs. They were so strong that Barry Goldwater instructed his aide on the scene, Steve Shadegg, to cut a few days out of his Oregon schedule and privately crossed the state off his list. Nelson Rockefeller was planning an all-out mail and telephone, radio and TV campaign in a desperate attempt to gain a foothold.

Rationalized Goldberg about the organization's money shortage: "If you're given too much money, you can do everything, and that's too much. It's a great diffusion. You lose your sense of priority. You take your eye off the ball. Our way, you must develop a sense of discipline...
