That primary election marked a turning point in Senator John F. Kennedy's bid to win the nomination for president against Senator Hubert H. Humphrey. Senator Kennedy's landslide victory in the state proved that a Catholic could be a viable candidate for president contrary to conventional wisdom at the time. A video clip of a campaign ad was shown in which Senator Kennedy responded to a question at a campaign event at Marshall University about whether his loyalties would be divided between his church and the state. After their discussion the panelists responded to questions from members of the audience. This was a Kennedy Forum event held at the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/293478-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/293478-1 Wed, 09 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT Nihad Awad, executive director of Council on American-Islamic Relations, talked about the issues surrounding the Muslim community and the attempted bombing of Northwest Flight 253.
