The Legend of Lyndon Johnson

He was the greatest campaigner. You know, campaigning in the Hill Country wasn't like campaigning today's studs. If he talked to 20 people, that was a big crowd. He would hold out his hand and he'd say, I need you or helping hand. Will you give it to me? And he'd kiss. Now is the energy. On election day 1937 thousands of these farmers loaded their families into a car and drove to these polling places to repay Johnson by giving him their vote.
