An Original Youth Movement

Fire of Liberty

Now here's an example of a "youth movement" in electoral politics that I would have joined in if I were around on the college scene in 1964. According to this 1998 Flashback article by Richard Brookhiser, the young college kids were attracted to the Conservative Republican Barry Goldwater during his 1964 run for president while their parents continued to cleft to the DNC. Boy how things have changed. You never know, such a movement towards the conservative wing of the GOP on behalf of the college age student could happen in the near future. I could be wrong but the thought seems cool to me.
