Democratic campaign airs 'Confessions of a Republican' television advertisement

The Johnson campaign aired the influential TV spot 'Confessions of a Republican,' featuring a Republican-sounding narrator urging voters to reject Barry Goldwater and support Lyndon Johnson.

The advertisement helped portray Goldwater as an extremist to undecided and moderate voters and is widely regarded as a pivotal piece of political advertising in Johnson's landslide 1964 victory.
