How does RPs campaign mirror JFKs?

[RonPaulFTFW]

I saw in that Fox interview this morning they compared his campaign support to JFKs?

Does anybody have any hard data on that?

[WilliamC]

Did JFK have a BLIMP?

Seriously though, that was before my time.

[fedup100]

No blimp, he had Jackie. I believe he was low in the polls at this time and I think he lost Iowa.

[RonPaulFTFW]

I think it was in regard to his grass roots support.

You don't neccessarily want to draw too many parallels to JFK.

Kennedy's wealthy and politically connected father (Joe.P.) basically bought the win in a very close contest with Nixon. The Chicago Democratic machine (whose motto was "vote early, vote often") turned out a big vote from the cemetaries.

[RobertJ]

Yeah sounded like a veiled threat to me.

[mokkan88]

Jimmy Carter was polling at 2% during the primaries.

[Adamsa]

Yeah but democrat contests mix up so easily, Republican ones tend to be more "stable."

I think it was in regard to his grass roots support.

That's it. Kennedy also won all the on line polls.
