Absolutely.
Joe Kennedy was the head of the Irish Mob in Boston during Prohibition. That was the source of his money. He went to the mobbed up unions and to Joe Batters, the head of the Outfit in Chicago and made a deal for them to fix the election where necessary for JFK to win in exchange for a lessening of govt. pressure on them. He beat Nixon by a very narrow margin with obvious massive voter fraud in Illinois, Texas, West Virginia...Nixon was urged to challenge the outcome and call for recounts. Nixon said he wouldn't cause a constitutional crisis to win an election and conceded.
The Kennedy boys were so arrogant they thought they didn't have to keep their promise to the Mob and the crooked unions. Bobby Kennedy went after them as Atty General, and they assasinated both of them. The mob doesn't generally allow the killing of cops or prosecutors, but that prohibition does not apply to crooked cops and prosecutors.

Thanks for JFK and mob connection explanation. That vaguely rings a bell now. Everyone seems to worship JFK like he is God, and I don't, so I usually just don't pay much attention to the gory details. Can't seem to argue with people. Same about FDR - everyone worships him yet he betrayed the Baltics and many other countries by handing them over to Stalin as if Stalin were his big buddy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've heard how he was trying to end the war...
