Do they keep the positions they held in the 1960s, or were they just born 50 years latter than IRL?

I imagine that Johnson would be a pretty mainstream Democrat today and Goldwater would probably be a libertarianish Tea Partier, basically Rand Paul except maybe slightly more socially liberal.

Goldwater was pro-choice and supported SSM.

What does SSM stand for? Also, many conservative voters would probably be turned off by Goldwater.

I imagine he'd adjust his position today or just take a pro states right stance. If pushed on it he'd probably say "Personally I'm pro-choice but if Mississippi wants to ban abortion they should be able to."

Johnson is able to recapture some Democratic votes in the Upper South and rural Midwest, and has the better political skills to reach out to moderate voters.  Goldwater is unable (or rather, unwilling) to keep himself from making controversial statements.
 


Johnson (TX) /McCaskill (MO) 54%  369

Goldwater (AZ) /Thune (SD)   44%  169

I think it could be a close election between Johnson and Goldwater, though it all depends on the dynamics of the race in particular. Smiley
