We just don't have the same class as we once had. When Nixon and Kennedy were running to be president, Kennedy 's campaign hired Dick Tuck Nixon for years.
The day after the first debate, which many thought Nixon had won, Tuck hired an old lady wearing a Nixon button to hug Nixon in front of reporters and console him for losing the debate. Two years later, when Nixon ran for governor of California, Tuck had children in Los Angeles' Chinatown greet him with a sign reading "Welcome Nixon" in English and beneath the greeting, "What about the Hughes loan?" in Chinese–a reference to a controversial loan Nixon's brother had received. Nixon , who didn't understand Chinese, posed smiling next to the sign, and then tore it up in front of reporters when Tuck told him the translation.
During a whistle-stop train tour on the same campaign, Tuck disguised himself as a conductor and ordered Nixon 's train to pull away from the station just as Nixon had begun a speech to the crowd.
When Nixon ran for President in 1968, Tuck hired pregnant women to show up at his rallies wearing T-shirts that read "Nixon 's the One."
In the early years running for office was considered demeaning and uncouth so others campaigned for the candidate. That is where you have a politician standing for office instead of running for office. Thomas Jefferson President Adams of having a "hideous hermaphroditical character, which has neither the force nor firmness of a man, or the gentleness and sensibility of a woman." In return, Adams Vice President Jefferson 'a mean-spirited, low-lived fellow, the son of a half-breed Indian squaw, sired by a Virginia Adams Jefferson
