The Rush Limbaugh nuts would still vote for Nixon today.

i dont know about "rush limbaugh nuts" or not but,
both robert caro, and e.j. dionne jr (considered liberal authors and authorities on politics/journalism) have noted the difference of nixon and jfk having the first presidential debate on tv working in favor to jfk.
whether this was simply 'good looks' i doubt- but there must be something there. in 20 years whomever will be president in '08, ppl will note youtube and the availability of seeing candidates on the internet too being a factor in the election, they already are.

Kennedy had charisma. He had a way of making people feel good about their country. He promoted social change and was not part of the "good ole boy network"
(unfortunately Lyndon Johnson was)

I love bringing up ancient history as a way to avoid talking about relevant issues going on today..... clip on!

History is relevant to everything that happens today and in the future. "Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it".
