 uh excuse me didn't win the nomination on the first ballot um 1964 there was a little bit of a split big split actually in the republican party between those who supported barry goldwater ultra conservatives and the northeast liberal wing if you will of the republican party you could say this is the moment that that wing dies uh where they were trying to the northeast wing was trying to withhold their delegates and ultimately decided that was going to be fruitless so they released their delegates before the first vote so it could look unanimous uh
