President Lyndon Johnson on Goldwater's Mental Stability: 7/23/64

President Johnson expresses his concern over a potential Goldwater win to Texas Governor John Connally: "I just shudder to think what would happen if Goldwater won it. He's a man that's had two nervous breakdowns. He's not a stable fellow at all." Johnson's basis for claiming his opponent has had mental health issues is a May 1964 Good Housekeeping magazine interview with Barry Goldwater's wife, Peggy. In it she references two particularly stressful events in her husband's pre-political life. For more on the Daisy Ad see: http://www.conelrad.com/daisy/index.php
