Junior Senator John F. Kennedy was nominated to be the presidential candidate by the Democratic party on July 15, 1960.

In his acceptance speech, entitled "The New Frontier", Kennedy challenged the nation to "be not afraid, neither be dismayed" in the face of adversity.

John F. Kennedy was criticized
for being catholic
for his lack of experience
for his age
for his political ideology
for being idealistic

Kennedy narrowly defeated Richard Milhous Nixon (49.7% to 49.5%) and became the 35th President of the United States.
