I was five and a half years old during the Nixon-Kennedy television debates. My entire family was for Nixon but I said I was for Kennedy. When asked why, I said I liked the way he combs his hair. Sadly, many adults have the same reasoning.
It explain much of Mitt Romney’s success in politics.
Modern media and the 19th Amendmet were not friendly to capable, competent elected officials.
There was a theory that in the modern age, whovere was taller and had a better head of hair won
Nixon, Nixon, he’s our man, Kennedy’s in the garbage can.
Fond memories !!
