Post-Conventional Wisdom

(Page 10 of 10)

You mentioned Barry Goldwater doing a commercial for Governor Evan Mecham in 1962. There's another story from 1962. Both Goldwater and Mecham made an appearance before the National Convention of Young Americans for Freedom being held in Phoenix. Goldwater was the nationally known senator and front runner for the presidential nomination. Mecham was the Republican nominee for the other senate seat. Goldwater spoke for 30 minutes and got polite applause. Mecham spoke for 15 minutes and got two standing ovations. Later, Mecham's wife, Flo, said to her husband, "You just made an enemy." He asked, "Who's my new enemy?" She said, "Senator Goldwater." Mecham said, "He's backing me for senator." Flo said, "You didn't see his face when you got that second standing ovation!"

Let me ask you a question, Mr. Frost. If Barry Goldwater was not part of the lynch mob against Governor Mecham like you say, then what was he doing being part of it in 1987 and 1988?

"FYI, as Program Director, 'KOOL-Gold' was the innovator; we started the 'oldies' format the previous July [1962], now heard on 730+ radio stations nationally."

That was you??
