he was popular because he was young, handsome (UGH!), and had a picture perfect family... back then was when the first television set got intro'd into the households of white bread america... and i think at the time, women were able to vote for the first time? as for why he was influential, i refuse to touch that subject with a 50 ft pole...
The expression "paperless office" has now been officially defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as meaning "an office full of stuff, much of it paper, arranged in a higgledy-piggledy manner wherever it may lie".

Nyah! Women were allowed to vote in the U.S. 40 years before the 1960 Kennedy/Nixon campaign. Are you saying their is a correlation between his handsomeness and the women's vote? My parents were big Kennedy fans then. I was named after a Kennedy.

Are you saying that Kennedy won because women were allowed to vote? Actually, Kennedy won because dead Democrats were allowed to vote. Time to start suscribing to The History Channel, Nyah. Though JFK did utilize it more (and it probably helped get him votes since Nixon looked so bad in that televised debate - most who listened on radio felt Nixon won), the first 'television' President was Eisenhower; by the time Kennedy was elected there was probably at least one set in most households. And...women were given the vote in the 1920's. Apple PS - Hey, Saladbar...guess I should've read YOUR post before typing mine!!
A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
