Changes

President [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] was still popular, despite that America was clearly involved in the [[Vietnam War]].  Because of his popularity at that time, he was nominated as the Democratic presidential candidate.  The Republicans chose conservative, Senator [[Barry Goldwater]], as their candidate.  Goldwater wanted to change the strategy for the war in Vietnam (once saying he would use an atomic bomb to stop chinese supply lines.)  Johnson instead claimed he would not escalate the war in Vietnam.  Johnson won a landslide victory in the final election.  <ref>  [[Encyclopedia of Presidents]], by Jim Hargrove, Children's Press, 1987, pp. 67-68.  </ref>
