This election saw Thurston Morton demand a recount in 11 states and 15 unpledged votes in this election went to Harry Byrd. This election saw the sitting president offer very tepid support of his party's candidate in an interview with Charles Mohr and one of the Democratic nominees was the father of current California governor, Pat Brown. Other contenders for that nomination included Stuart Symington and an Oregon senator who feuded with Richard Neuberger, Wayne Morse. In an attempt to weaken the regional stronghold of this election's eventual winner, the losing party nominated a vice presidential candidate who hailed from the same state, Henry Cabot Lodge. A turning point in this election was a televised debated in which a knee injury made one candidate look more tired than his opponent. Featuring a seminal speech about one candidate's Catholicism, for ten points, name this election, which saw Richard Nixon lose narrowly to JFK.
