JFK
I was in grade school. If you are asking about party affiliation--yes. Kennedy was a Democrat. However, today he would probably be Republican. Cutting taxes, strongly against abortion, anti-big government.
Oops.....guess I'm showing my age.

I can remember the Johnson campaign (LBJ for the USA). The first campaign I ever voted in was that of Gerald Ford. Can't remember just who his challanger was but I was a California Democrat in those days, before I wised up and started voting Republican.

1964, Johnson vs. Goldwater, amidst Beatlemania. I was in 1st grade. If I remember right, I wanted Barry Goldwater to win. Those were the good old days.

I was about 10 years old, and it was Carter vs Reagan. Reagan won. I didn't know enough about politics to really root for anyone at the time, but I remember that everyone was SO excited about Ronald Reagan.

JFK.
I was 8.
Kind of like Jimi Hendrix dying before he could get $hitty and go Disco, JFK will always seem like a great legend.

I supported and voted for Reagan. Then his voodoo economic policies turned me off. I was then and still am socially liberal.
