    John F. Kennedy: Public Perception and Campaign Strategy in 1946 By

    112 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Summer 2013 John F. Kennedy, age 29, sitting under a campaign poster in a room at the Bellevue Hotel during his 1946 campaign. On the mantle are photos of his parents. Photograph by Joel Yale for Life magazine. 113 John F. Kennedy: Public Perception and Campaign Strategy in 1946 SETH M. RIDINGER Editor’s Introduction: Boston politics in the 1940s were replete with backroom dealmaking, cigar smoke, and corruption; it was a world of insiders. In 1946, John F. Kennedy took on this hostile realm in a bid for the United States Congress. Kennedy’s victory set his trajectory firmly on the path toward the White House. However, it was not Kennedy’s unlimited coffers that propelled him into office; instead, it was his ability to shape public perception and outwork the other candidates, his innovations in campaign strategy, and his appeal as a naval war hero that swept him to electoral victory. The author argues that although money is an important factor in politics, it was not the determining factor in Kennedy’s 1946 success. The author’s research draws on the extensive oral history collections of the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum. The Oral History Program’s goal is to “collect, preserve, and make available interviews conducted with individuals who were in some way associated with John F. Kennedy and his legacy.” The collection comprises more than 1,700 interviews; interviewees include prominent public figures as well as private individuals who played distinct roles in Kennedy’s life, career, Historical Journal of Massachusetts, Vol.
