JFK

[H2O Man]

24. Thank you!

My children are convinced that I'm old enough to remember the day President Lincoln was first elected.

I consider myself a "Kennedy Democratic," primarily, in terms of organized politics. While the 1960 campaign did make use of much of the party's leaders and upper-structures, RFK invested in people at the grass roots level, too. The combination of RFK's organizational skills then, in his Senate campaign in '64, and his presidential run in '68, should be studied by liberal and progressive activists here.

Teddy certainly ranks high among this nation's greatest Senators.
