Mr. Conservative: Goldwater on Goldwater by CC Goldwater (granddaughter to Barry), Julie Anderson, and Tani Cohen.

“[Barry Goldwater] transformed the Republican Party from an Eastern elitist organization to the breeding ground for the election of Ronald Reagan.”

- John McCain

CC Goldwater’s documentary takes you behind the scenes of the 1964 election (she was five at the time), which her grandfather ultimately lost to Dwight D. Eisenhower.

We’re sure you’ve seen this very Halloween-appropriate Eisenhower campaign video, but in case you haven’t: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDTBnsqxZ3k&feature=related 

The less-explosive version is nowhere near as fun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOLBEn9pxHs&feature=related

But here’s Goldwater reacting to the Daisy video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6_PGj3VQXI&feature=related

Party safe this weekend!
