1964 bought one the most bitter, tumultuous, and significant political campaigns in our history. In over 100 photographs and unforgettable words of the delegates themselves, NBC brings forth the entire spectacular story. A fascinating cast of characters: Sen. Barry Goldwater, Cabot Lodge, Gov. Wallace, Mary Chase Smith, Gov. Scranton sending his scathing letter to Goldwater, Rockerfeller being hooted by his own party, Robert Kennedy's tremendous ovation from the Democratic Delegates, the anguished Negro Republican delegates of San Francisco, Freedom Democrats of Atlantic City, Lady Bird Johnson whistle stopping through the South and President Johnson rolling up the greatest popular vote in history. In David Brinkley's prologue he deduces the American character. A series of prepared charts based on NBC's own "Electronic Vote Analysis" clarifies the new ethnic, economic and religious voting patterns emerging from the election. America's most revealing process....the choosing of their President.
