Henry Cabot Lodge was the Republican VP nominee in 1960.
My point was that Nixon, for some crazy reason, picked the guy Kennedy had beaten for US Senate to be his running mate from the same state as Kennedy.
Is that nuts or what?
Wow. What a brilliant political strategy. Let’s make this campaign about Massachusetts, Nixon must have said. What an idiot.
He should have picked Robert Taft of Ohio, or someone like that.
