We can all thank God that JFK won that election. Without his electoral victory, there would have been no Civil Rights Bill or Voting Protection Act.

COMMON KNOWLEDGE -- if you were alive back then: The FBI discreetly investigated the whole case on Nixon's behalf/request -- and Nixon received a phone call from Hoover short time later. Hoover said -- "you don't want to go there". Our guys found more problems with "your side". Specifically Louisiana and Minnesota. We've also found problems in Texas and a couple other states just on a casual/preliminary inquiry. Hoover absolutely hated the Kennedy's and was all too eager, but with RFK as AG -- Hoover could not get away with a one-sided investigation to his political liking and keep his job. RFK was specifically chosen as AG because of this very reason -- JFK knew that it was inevitable that Hoover would everything in his power to tear down the Kennedy's. FACT: Nixon (on Hoover's suggestion) dropped the investigation because he found out that the investigation would make him (Nixon) look even worse -- and it also allowed him to not look like a soar loser. I'll pull up the source/data if you don't want to believe it -- but it would not matter (if I did), you would just attack the source and not the content. Freedom of information act made this info available very recently -- although the GOP fought its release. -JH
