- Jack's opponent in the primary election was a legitimate politician named Joe Russo. To insure that Jack won the primary campaign, Joe Kennedy paid Joseph Russo, a janitor, to also enter the race. This effectively confused the voters, and split the votes for Joe Russo.
- Russo the janitor recalled how Joe's friend Joseph Timilty and another man had visited him one day and asked him to run. In return, Russo said, "They offered me favors. Whatever I wanted." In fact, he said later, he wound up getting very little - occasional payments of $50 in cash.
- Even the aunt of the real candidate voted for the janitor, recalled Joseph A Russo, the real candidate's son. "They didn't leave anything unturned," he said. His father claimed that Kennedy's people had also arranged for other bogus candidates to "run in other areas to break up the Irish vote, or some other vote. They played for keeps."
Dude, your past posts have suggested that you are not playing with a full deck but this one is way over the top.......truly.
The janitor, Joe Russo, you mention above came in a poor seventh. The real Joseph Russo came in a lackluster fourth. Even if the janitor's votes were combined with his, he still would come in fourth. The real opposition candidate to John Kennedy was Michael Neville and he came in with a very weak second, only pulling half of Kennedy's vote count.
Soooo........WTF was your point?
You would think living in a blue state some of a blue state's innate intelligence would rub off and smoothen out your hard edges but apparently, you are a hopeless case. ;~) |
