JFK

Exactly.

Presidents are elected on TV appeal, and JFK was prettier than Nixon. He
was a dangerous playboy with a penchant for international mischief, but
he had sex appeal that America couldn't resist - still can't. Reagan
was the quintessential TV president, revered now because he had the luck
to be sitting in the big chair when Soviet communism finally rotted to
pieces, even though his presidency was marked by colossal deficits, the
S&L debacle and sleazy dealings with scum in Iran and Central America.
But boy, he sure could say "God bless America" on TV like no one else!
We loved it!

Clinton and Bush? Same thing: they won because they were cuter on the
tube than their opponents.
