Was the leftist icon actually an 'unelected' President who led us into a quagmire? Oh my!

[Mr. Bird]

John Fund presents an interesting case in the OpinionJournal that Kennedy was in fact elected with less than a plurality of the popular vote. Apparently, Alabama's ballot did not list JFK's name; the option was to vote for a slate of Democrat electors.

Turns out, 5 of those electors cast their votes for another candidate. If a proportionate number of votes were assigned to that candidate, the final vote tally would have shown Nixon with approximately 50,000 more votes nationally than JFK.

Don't tell the Democrats, though.

But I'll make an exception for Kennedy (and Johnson, another scumbag who ran a corrupt and disastrous Administration).

Its a matter of history that Jack Kennedy's crooked father managed to manipulate the vote in Cook County Illinois to get his son elected.

That's an accurate criticism of leftist partisanship and hypocrisy...but not of the man himself.
