"Two Suns of the Southwest: Lyndon Johnson, Barry Goldwater, and the 1964 Battle Between
Liberalism and Conservatism explores the 1964 presidential election and its legacy
for modern American politics. The contest was simultaneously a showdown between liberalism
and conservatism and between Lyndon B. Johnson and Barry Goldwater. Two more unlikely
messengers could not be envisioned. Johnson's liberalism was suspect among east coast
liberals while Goldwater's conservatism was far to the right of what had been normal
in previous decades. Both suns of the Old West, they advocated distinctly different
versions of what the southwest and thus the country could be if it but orbited their
worldview. One looked nostalgically backward and the other boldly forward. The election
of 1964 has in the decades since come to be seen as a definitional contest whereby
Americans deliberated between two distinctly different visions for the future. To
provide an additional twist, the losing candidate's vision has become much more central
to American politics while the winning candidate's vision has grown stale"
