ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA—Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul today gained a public endorsement from Barry M. Goldwater, Jr.



“America is at a crossroads,” said Mr. Goldwater. “We have begun to stray from our traditions and must get back to what has made us the greatest nation on earth or we will lose much of the freedom we hold dear. Ron Paul stands above all of the other candidates in his commitment to liberty and to America.”



“Leading America is difficult, and I know Ron Paul is the man for the job,” he added.



Mr. Goldwater is the son of the late former Republican presidential candidate and Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater. Barry Goldwater, Jr. served in the House of Representatives for six terms with Texas Congressman Paul, and is currently on the Board of Directors of the Goldwater Institute. After representing northern Los Angeles County in Washington, D.C. for 14 years, Mr. Goldwater retired from politics in 1983 to pursue a successful career in business and humanitarian ventures.



“The Ron Paul campaign is exceptionally honored by Mr. Goldwater’s endorsement,” said Paul campaign manager Lew Moore. “Dr. Paul and Congressman Goldwater fought together in the Congress for the ideals of limited constitutional government that Mr. Goldwater’s father so tirelessly advocated. The Goldwaters have left an indelible mark on the Republican Party, and theirs is a legacy which Congressman Paul will certainly inherit as President.”



The late Barry M. Goldwater, Sr. sparked the modern conservative movement and was the Republican Party presidential nominee in 1964.

A fair amount, it kind of shows the Goldwater family and legacy is behind Ron so thats pretty big.

Yeah, I figure symbolically it is huge. It can only be positive. Just wondering if it will get some talking heads to take a second look at Paul and give him more credibility.

This will help pull the Reagan Republicans to support Ron (well the ones that aren't already)

While I was campaigning at the Peanut Festival an older fella said he supported Gold Water way back when and that he'd been following Ron Paul and was happy to see young people supporting him.

Made me all warm and fuzzy inside.

Perfect endorsement, especially after the Jewish Task Force called Ron Paul a nazi!
