Johnson won Tennessee with 55.50% of the vote to Republican nominee Barry Goldwater's 44.49%. This was the first time Tennessee had voted Democratic for president since 1948. Campaign Goldwater supported privatizing the Tennessee Valley Authority, which he considered "a big fat sacred New Deal cow". He received significant criticism for this statement, of which he later wrote that "You would have thought I had just shot Santa Claus". Republican Party of Texas chair Peter O'Donnell, who had chaired the Draft Goldwater Committee and provided financial support to Goldwater's campaign, wrote a memo criticizing Goldwater for "shooting from the hip" and "kicking a sleeping dog".Black Black 1992 205 Results 1964 United States presidential election in Tennessee Lyndon B.
