Democratic governors blame surge against Great Society for 1966 losses
Democratic governors at the National Governors Conference in White Sulphur Springs West Virginia say their party’s losses in November stem from a voter surge against President Johnsons Great Society. They rejected GOP claims that Johnson might not run in 1968 and noted Republicans gained seats in the House and Senate and eight governors. Governor Harold E Hughes of Iowa said Johnson will face a very tough race with a respectable opponent in 1968 and that the Great Society moved too fast, with limited communication with the national administration.
