Video: 'NH Primary 1964'
(Tuesday, March 10, 1964, 7:18 p.m. EST) — CBS News projected a dramatic political upset tonight for Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, whose name was not even on the ballot, by sweeping the New Hampshire first-in-the-nation Republican presidential primary from Sen. Barry Goldwater. New York Gov. Nelson A Rockefeller was running third.
President Lyndon B. Johnson won the Democratic presidential primary with no viable opposition and was expected to easily win the nomination following his succession to the presidency upon the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
