There have been several timelines on the site about the question of whether John F. Kennedy had been defeated in the 1968 Presidential Election by George Romney - and many threads about the subject, but there have been few of either about the question of whether Kennedy had defeated Richard Nixon eight years earlier during his first attempt at the Presidency in 1960.

So, what would be the ramifications of John F. Kennedy being sworn in as the 35th President of the United States on January 20, 1961 instead of Richard Nixon?

I also ask another side question, could Nixon have performed the same kind of political comeback that Kennedy did if he lost in 1960?

OOC: This is loosely based on the Camelot Deferred RP Game in Shared Worlds, where Kennedy pulling a Nixon happens in 1968.
