===Crichton, Goldwater, and Bush===

While Crichton ran for governor, [[George Herbert Walker Bush]], a Massachusetts native, sought the [[U.S. Senate]] seat held by the [[liberal]] Democrat [[Ralph Yarborough]] of [[Austin]]. Crichton was unopposed for his nomination, but Bush faced a primary fight with the 1962 Republican gubernatorial nominee, Jack M. Cox (1921-1990) of Houston. Crichton and Bush spoke from some of the same podiums that year. Crichton traveled 55,000 miles in the campaign, addressed audiences in 85 cities and towns, and made 275 speeches. At the 1964 [[Republican National Convention]] in [[San Francisco]], [[California]], he was elected chairman of the Permanent Organization Committee and gave the report of that panel from the convention floor.<ref>Crichton, pp. 53-55.</ref>​

Crichton strongly supported the [[Barry Goldwater]] presidential candidacy: "In my opinion Goldwater would have made a great president. He would either have withdrawn our presence in [[Vietnam War|Vietnam]] or gone whole hog to win it, instead of the piecemeal strategy of the Johnson administration that so hampered our military leaders as they in effect were not allowed to win the Vietnam conflict."<ref>Crichton, p. 48.</ref>​
