    Congratulations! You have won the 1960 Presidential Election.

    Hopefully you can move the United States in a more modern direction after eight quiet years of Eisenhower, while holding the line against the Soviet Union. At your young age, you have the potential to define the entire decade as President, and perhaps to hand the torch to one of your brothers in the future.

    Sorry, you have lost the 1960 Presidential Election.

    It was always going to be tough to defeat the Vice President to someone as popular as Eisenhower. However, you still have your seat in the Senate. At your young age, there is no reason you couldn't be a strong contender for President in 1964 or 1968, especially if this election was close. Let's just hope the Democrats don't blame your defeat on your religion.

    No candidate has won a majority in the Electoral College.

    Bobby felt sick. All his work, all that money, all for the exact opposite of progress. The states rights scum had maneuvered things in such a way that they had become the most powerful bloc in the nation.

    There was always the possibility that rejecting the Dixiecrats could backfire. But this really is the worst possible outcome. Jack, after all he’s promised, cannot find any ground to negotiate with Byrd and his scum. Nixon will also find himself in a tight spot, with his prominent Black supporters, but Bobby wouldn’t be surprised if Nixon revealed himself as a lilly-white to steal this election.

    Everything has gone so horribly wrong. Race relations will be set back decades, segregation will be all but enshrined for a minimum of 4 years. People will look back fondly on Esienhower’s bare minimum. Dad hasn’t given up, and intends to call every single favor he can get, but it’s clear Jack has. The best thing that could be said is that hopefully Jack is said up for a comfortable 1964 - he must win, to undo the upcoming terror. .

    Richard Nixon has served as Vice President for eight years, and begins the campaign as the better known of the two candidates. He has long been known as a staunch anti-communist and a Cold Warrior. Nixon faces similar problems as Kennedy, to a lesser extent -- different wings of the party have different demands on civil rights. On the other hand, Nixon might be in a better position than Kennedy to paint himself as strong on defense. Some voters also feel Nixon is cold and unrelatable.

    With luck, you will be able to duplicate the eight years of peace and prosperity under Eisenhower. Unfortunately, the Democrats maintain their majority in both houses of Congress.

    A lot of people think this election was yours to lose, and party operatives are already whispering that Nelson Rockefeller will be the frontrunner in 1964.

    The Democrats have an advantage in the House of Representatives, so you are probably in bad shape. However, a lot depends on how Kennedy deals with Harry Byrd. It's possible that some kind of deal will need to be struck for any candidate to get a clean majority in the House.
