And John F. Kennedy will do whatever the Pope tells him to if he gets elected.

And that is what they said about Al Smith in 1928. He lost because of it.

No he didn't, in 1924 the democrats got 29% of the total vote against 54% republican, and in 1928 Catholic Democrat Al Smith got 41% to the republican’s 58%, so my guess would be that his Protestant vote improved over the previous election.
