John McCain is the fourth person from Arizona to seek the presidency. The others:
* Bruce Babbitt (1988)
* Mo Udall (1976)
* and, most famously, Barry Goldwater (1964), who lost in a landslide to Lyndon Johnson (taking only 6 states) but is credited with helping spark the resurgence of American conservatism. His most famous quote, said during his acceptance speech at the GOP convention: "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me also remind you that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."
