Kennedy & Democrats . . . .

[redcliffsw]

"For, as a New Englander, I recognize that the South is still the land of Washington, who made our Nation - of Jefferson, who shaped its direction - and of Robert E. Lee who, after gallant failure, urged those who had followed him in bravery to reunite America in purpose and courage." ~ John F. Kennedy, September 17th, 1960.

Kennedy was not a Jeffersonian Democrat but it looks like he had some indication of the existence of real Democrats.
