This campaign season is reminding me of the Goldwater presidential
campaign back in 1964. He was a bit of a right-wing extremist, and had a
campaign slogan:
"In your heart you know he's right"
which quickly became:
"In your heart you know he might"
meaning he would likely drop a nuclear weapon on Hanoi and/or Haiphong. On the
"Tonight" show, Jack Parr did a sendup of Goldwater, using the slogan:
"In your guts you know he's nuts"
>
>They might be singing this when the circus leaves...
>
>Nellie the Elephant packed her trunk
>And said goodbye to the circus
>Off she went with a trumpety-trump
>Trump, trump, trump
>
