I remember well that Key Note Address of Walter Judd.<br>Regarding the Keynote Speech: I have heard most of them and I only Remember two of them. Frank Clement's 1956 KeyNote at the Democratic Convention and Walter' Judd's speech in 1960.<br>I think perhaps Rockefeller would have been a better candidate, though I did not think so at the time.<br><br>If Judd had been on the ticket, I think the GOP would have won the Presidency in 1960. Henry Cabot Lodge was not much of a Candidate. (He lost to Jack Kennedy in 1952 and could you blame Mass. for electing JFK?)<br><br>If Nixon had his druthers, he would have chosen Walter Judd. It was a blown chance for excellence.John Thomas MCGeeannoreply@blogger.com
