The main difference IMO between Goldwater and Reagan was the fact that Goldwater was a Senator while Ronald Reagan was a Two Term Governor of the Biggest State in the Union. This gave Reagan more credibility than Goldwater, as when Reagan was attacked as being to far right he could just point to his record as Governor while with Goldwater he could not which made Goldwater much easier to attack.


To have a Ideological Realigning President you have to have that President be a Governor or they will fail to realign the electorate ideologically
