[Rhodes22-list] Quiet list (political)

[john Belanger]

herb,
  i didn't want to go there. i will only say that if that were true, i don't think robert would have run. he would have walked away from politics. thats my reason for believing johnson had nothing to do with it. i do believe though that part of the story was that those who did it, or who let oswald do it, wanted lbj to be president, and that it looked to them as if robert was going to be the heir to the throne, not johnson. they may have been convinced that they were doing him a favor. john b

John,
I remember well the rivalry between Jack Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson in their primaries. Maybe a higher purpose motivated them to work together while they could. There were some bitter feelings there as they competed for the nomination.

However, most VP candidates start off wanting the presidency, then become a VP candidate after it's apparent they won't win the nomination of their party.
