no!

Yes I do. His charisma overode anything else.

Yes I do. I am not sure it would have changed much but maybe it would have changed everything.

Yes I do.

Well as it happend he was Assassinated, And we wont realy know. But on a lighter note I would have voted kermit the frog, For all the good it does nowdays

yeah he was very popular. I wonder how he would have handled Vietnam.

I think he would have. After all, his vice-president, Lyndon Johnson, who replaced him as president was re-elected in 1964, so the American voters were still inclined to vote Democrat. That's all I have, though. I was a teenager at the time and living in another country, so my opinion on the subject is probably not worth much.

Most positively, yes.

I am quite sure about that.

Almost definitely. Nixon probably would not have run and someone like Goldwater would have been trounced.

I was not alive back then. So, obviously I have no first hand knowledge of JFK. However, according to my father, Kennedy was already in political trouble and his approval among the American people was falling at the time of his assassination. My father considered unlikely that Kennedy would have been reelected and that it was his status as a martyr that saved him from being considered one of the poor presidents this county has had. LBJ won playing on Kennedy's status as a martyr. I don't know how accurate father's view is. However, in looking for more on this, I happened across something that I find interesting. There are a couple of self proclaimed Democrat authors that claim that think that, if Kennedy had survived the assassination attempt and been reelected, then he probably would have faced impeachment in his second term and eventually been forced from office. Their premise is that the investigation into the assassination would have led to all of the Kennedy's misdeeds coming out all at once rather than over time as they actually did. Furthermore, the voters of his day would have probably been less tolerant of many of his actions than they would be today.

Absolutely no two A's about it.

Oh yea he was riding a wave of popularity that hadn't peaked

interesting question!!! despite our love and devotion to the great man, he wasn't riding on a wave of popularity at the time. from what i understand, kennedy, unlike johnson, did not want to escalate the war in vietnam. if he'd have gotten us out of vietnam in 63 / 64, my guess is that a lot of companies that dwight eisenhower warned us about in his final presidential speech, would not have stood to profiteer from the war. faced with the threat of losing hundreds of millions in profits, the campaign against kennedy probably would have had lots of financing. conspiracy theorist that i am, sometimes i wonder if perhaps kennedy had already made his intentions known and that's why he was assassinated... i wonder?

I would have voted for him again. Yes, he would have been elected again. I think he would have been more decisive about Nam than Johnson was.

Not only would he probably be re elected- the fascist cabal (those who say they are Jews but do lie and are really of the synagogue of Satan) that pulled off 9/11 would not have been in a position of power to do all the treasonous things they've been doing since his murder.

It would have been a much more interesting election. Goldwater might well have stood a chance against Kennedy. Even if Kennedy had won, I think there would have been a much more fair debate on the issues.

There was no doubt about it; he was very popular.
