It may have been the best campaign book ever, but that's not saying much. I was not talking about any specific event, and yes of course I understood the factor of his son’s involvement.

Thanks for that. You're off a bit on the matter of Goldwater and Ron Paul. The Paul campaign ended well before the convention. That there was Goldwater nostalgia around the time of the Rally for the Republic, held in conjunction with the Republican convention, is down largely to Barry Goldwater Jr. being an important speaker at that event. Paul has never tried to present himself as Goldwater, and he's been very clear about not having much in common with Goldwater's foreign policy. <em>Conscience</em> gets bogged down in 1960s policies, but it's still the best campaign book I know of, and a pretty good primer on a certain kind of libertarian-conservatism. Leave out the foreign-policy chapter, and one could do worse. (Indeed, the Republicans have ever since.) I had no idea “Mozart Was a Red” had been filmed, Jack. Thanks for that.

I thought about commenting on the original post, but realized that enough time had passed since I last read <i>Conscience</i> that I didn't want to risk treating it unjustly. Now I don't feel so bad.
