we talk a lot about the civil war within the republican party between the establishment and the far right. and 50 careers ago, it was much the same. that's what william scranton, the governor of pennsylvania rose to national prominence as a kennedy republican. he supported civil rights, invested in education, even raised taxes in pennsylvania. in the 1964, he took on the conservative barry goldwater for the republican presidential nomination. scranton won his home state of pennsylvania and goldwater went on to lose the general lakes in a landslide. scranton never ran for elective office again but later served as ambassador under president ford. today we learned he died at the age of 96. a great, great republican. we'll be right back.
