Kennedy was a Northeasterner and a Catholic.  In 1956, Catholics split their votes between Eisenhower and Stevenson, possibly even supporting Ike with a slight majority.  In 1960, over 80% voted for one of their own, JFK.

1956 was the only time between 1928 and 1984 that Androscoggin County, Maine voted Republican.
