These days I wonder what dirty tricks might have been played on Richard Nixon as well.

Nixon was misled about the color of the background (for the debates), which is why he wore that gray suit while JFK (original recipe, not the 2004 crispy style) wore a dark blue suit, which looked 1000% better on the B&W TV of that era. It's been a few years but I remember a very candid MSM type saying that Nixon was purposely misled because they didn't want him to win.

I was talking about Watergate, not the Kennedy election. Everyone knows that election was fixed. Just ask the dead people in Chicago.

I also understand Nixon had just recently had oral surgery, wisdom tooth extraction or something and had a slight shadow on his jawline indicating he hadn't shaved or at least not very well.

Those that heard the debate on the radio thought Nixon won, those that watched on TV thought Kennedy had.
