Barry Goldwater for president, still

It has been 50 years since Republican Barry Goldwater’s momentous presidential campaign, and now those influenced by what is considered the birth of the modern-day conservative movement are planning to celebrate his 1964 bid.

Organizers tell Secrets that they plan to hold a Capitol Hill forum and dinner in Goldwater’s honor Nov. 18. It will include comments from Goldwater’s family and former campaign insiders, and also likely compare the conservative leader’s outlook to the current president.
