Senator John F. Kennedy in Phoenix, Arizona, November 3, 1960

[observer9670]

Kennedy and Goldwater were personal friends. Kennedy told aides in 1963 that he was looking forward to the '64 campaign, anticipating that Goldwater would be his opponent. At one point during the Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK was briefing several Senators from both parties, including Goldwater. When the briefing ended, most left the Oval Office but Goldwater stayed. Kennedy then said to Goldwater "So you want this fucking job?"
