Honestly, without hindsight in 1960 and without knowing Lyndon Johnson would become president, I most likely have voted for Nixon. At the time, I would have perceived Nixon as more experienced and competent. And he was relatively moderate at the time, or moderate enough to get my vote. The Kennedys came off as snub and entitled which is why I found Nixon as someone who would fight harder to get stuff done.

In hindsight, obviously Kennedy for LBJ's ascension to power alone.
