Sneering tone.

Is the sneering tone of this article (pretending that a well known Congressman and Chairman of the Republican National Committee was some sort of unknown and trivial figure) really necessary? The left used disinformation and propaganda (for example comparing Barry Goldwater to Adolf Hitler - in spite of the politics of Mr Hitler and Mr Goldwater being polar opposites and the Goldwater family being of Jewish origin) to win the 1964 election. Surely (fifty years after your deceive victory - which directly led to the Great Society programs that are now most of American government spending)you can stop the disinformation and propaganda now.90.208.40.196 (talk) 13:07, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If possible, could we get an image without flash/light glare? -Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 19:34, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

what was legal or not for Mr. Miller in 1964[edit]

Like Barry Goldwater, William E. Miller was on the Republican Pres./VP ticket and did not seek re-election to his seat in Congress. What did the (New York?) law have to say about this (i.e., was it or was it not legal to also run for his seat in Congress)?

In 2012, Paul Ryan was the Republican VP nominee and also ran for his House seat. He was not elected VP, but he was re-elected to the House (his district was subject to some shift because this is when the reapportionment from the 2010 census was kicking in). He is from Wisconsin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.20 (talk) 15:16, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Different states have different laws: according to Ballotpedia, New York doesn't allow candidates to run for multiple offices simultaneously, but Wisconsin does. Keith the Koala (talk) 19:37, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
