[N. Theknow]

JFK wasn't very popular in the South where I grew up. Most everyone there was of the mind, " Good riddance to bad rubbish."

As one old gent put it after the assassination, "Beginning with FDR, in a little over twenty years, the Democratic Party has made us a welfare state, banana republic that would rather quit a fight than try to win it."

I may be wrong, but I think Kennedy won both Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and West Virginia in the '60 election.
