"Friends and Colleagues, Regardless…It was an astonishing relationship. Goldwater was chairman of the Republican Senate Campaign Committee when then-Senator Kennedy began showing interest in running for President. In his travels on behalf of Republicans, Goldwater recalled, he would inevitably learn what voters thought of Kennedy. This he would impart to his friend Jack! “You’re not doing so well in rural Iowa, but things are looking up in Des Moines.”

After Kennedy became President in 1960, they both realized that the next election might pit them against each other. They actually considered campaigning together—against each other—in 1964. It would have been a kind of whistle-stop Lincoln-Douglas debate series.

Then came Dallas, November 1963. We lost the President, Goldwater his friend."
