Another Perspective on Barry Goldwater

George Will's column from last Thursday discusses Barry Goldwater's brand of conservatism, "Goldwaterism", which Mr. Will sees as on the rise in the Republican party. Here is an excerpt:

"The re-emergence into Republican respectability of conservatism with a socially libertarian cast — Goldwaterism — is a development with a large potential to discomfort the Democratic Party. The re-emergence can make the Republican Party more appealing to many young and suburban voters, two cohorts in which Democrats have recently made substantial gains."
