I'll give Kennedy credit - winning as a Catholic at the time he did was HUGE. The fact that he was able to garner so much support is amazing.
His ideas for civil rights legislation were groundbreaking, and his foreign policy decisions included some solid ones (besides the Bay of Pigs fiasco).
I would have liked to have found out what happened if Kennedy stuck around and wasn't assasinated. I think he could have been an extremely solid President in time. However, I think he is a tad overrated by many.
