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.
