That's going to be a painful name for Democrats to say out loud. :)

There was a guy named John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a janitor with no political experience or background, who ran for Treasurer of Massachusetts in 1964 and won.

John Francis Kennedy, not Fitzgerald. It was in 1954. He managed to serve 3 terms in the job of Treasurer. He figured when the other JFK ran for President in 1960, he’d try to move up for Governor, but ended up losing badly in the Dem primary.
