Bo Callaway, Maddox's Republican opponent in the 1966 race for governor, was a recent convert to the Republican party, having switched his party affiliation in 1964 prior to being elected Georgia's first Republican Congressman since 1875. He was a vocal supporter of Barry Goldwater's failed 1964 bid for the U.S. Presidency.
