Though Crichton and Bush were both defeated, Bush ran a stronger campaign against Yarborough than Crichton managed against Connally. Yarborough and Connally were sharp intra-party rivals at the time. Final results showed Connally with 1,877,793 votes (73.8 percent) to Crichton's 661,675 (26 percent). Crichton did, however, outpoll the tally amassed by the next Republican candidate against Connally in 1966, Thomas Everton Kennerly, Sr. (1903–2000), of Houston, by more than 300,000 votes in a lower-turnout election.<ref>''Congressional Quarterly's Guide to U.S. Elections,'' Texas governorship.</ref> Kennerly ran unsuccessfully in 1964 for a seat on the [[Texas Supreme Court]]. ​

Crichton wrote a book, ''The Republican-Democrat Political Campaigns in Texas in 1964,'' which among other topics discusses the split at the 1964 convention between the partisans of  Goldwater and [[New York]] Governor [[Nelson A. Rockefeller]] and the last-minute attempt by William Warren Scranton (1917-2013) of [[Pennsylvania]] to bridge the differences. Crichton and Bush supported the eventual nominee, Goldwater, the U.S. senator from [[Arizona]] who lost Texas by a wide margin to native son Lyndon Johnson.<ref>{{cite book|url=http://www.flipkart.com/book/republican-democrat-political-campaigns-jack/1418425745|title=The Republican-Democrat Political Campaigns: In Texas in 1964|publisher=flipkart.com|accessdate=April 9, 2010}}</ref> Crichton went to a summer meeting in Hershey, Pennsylvania, having flown on the private jet of [[Winthrop Rockefeller]], then the [[Moderate Republican]] gubernatorial nominee against [[Orval E.

Crichton noted that in 1964 he had spent $65,000 on his race, the majority for five hundred billboards to promote his name identification. He also depended heavily on local television and [[newspaper]] coverage in the cities that he visited.<ref>Crichton, p. 34.</ref> About half of Crichton's spending was from his personal funds. Crichton's expenditures averaged ten cents for each vote received, whereas the losing 2002 gubernatorial candidate, Democrat Tony Sanchez of [[Laredo]], spent $10 per vote, having disbursed $20 million in his campaign against [[Rick Perry]].<ref>Crichton, pp. 56, 59.</ref>
