NEways… so, so much has been written about ‘Daisy’ that there is literally no way I can add anything new to the conversation. Which is partially why I was so thrilled to uncover SOMETHING about Schwartz-in-his-salad-days that seems to have been largely overlooked. As far as ‘Daisy,’ a quick google search will reveal much more than I could offer at this point in the evening, two-drinks-in as-it-were. One more point before I go… in case you were wondering what brand of tape machine Schwartz was using for his editing work in the 50s:
Yup that’s a Magnecord. If you are interested in learning more about Schwartz, let the man himself speak to you. I recommend first his excellent book “The Responsive Chord.” For a buck-o-five you got pretty little to lose and maybe a lot to gain…

"Daisy" was sheer calumny, as people realized sometime after the fact.
And LBJ was probably going to win anyway, but the drubbing Goldwater got was the end of the old line middle of the road Republicans and made Ronald Reagan inevitable. For one thing, he won in the "Solid South", the solid DEMOCRATIC South, against a SOUTHERN Democrat, which made Nixon's Southern Strategy inevitable, and will probably come back as the Sailer Strategy if Romney gets defeated. (Google it.)
