"My name is Wayne Morse, and I'm after the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. I am the only candidate in this race who cares about you, the everyday American. Give me the Democratic nomination for President of the USA, and let's get America back to work!"

With that, Wayne Morse had become the first candidate to enter the race for President in 1960.

Nixon's Presidential Announcement ad:

Announcer: And now, a message from Vice President Nixon.

Nixon: Good Evening, Ladies and Gentleman. I have decided to take some time to talk to you on Television, because i have some important items to discuss to you. The 1960 election is about a year away now, and the field is beginning to grow and expand. Since President Eisenhower is unable to run, i am throwing my hat into the ring for the Republican nomination. There is no one better to continue the Eisenhower legacy than myself, the Vice President. My campaign wants to promote the Republican ideals that myself and The President has fought for the last eight years, and i want to expand and bring new issues to the forefront. The other candidates will claim that my ideas will be old and tired, but my ideas are best for America now, and tomorrow. Thanks for allowing me into your homes, and together we will win. Thank you."

Wayne Morse holds a rally in California...

What is America? America is a land of hope. America is a land of opportunity. America is a land of prosperity. However, if we continue to let Republican leadership deprive African-Americans those rights, this nation will fall. Today I say, desegration now! Desegregation forever!

At a rally in Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy endorses Wayne Morse for President...

I like my brother, Jack, a lot. He's a great guy. But whether he runs for President or not, I'm throwing my support behind Wayne Morse. I truly believe his policies will further America and help prepare America for greater things.

It turns out that that was not Ted Kennedy, it was an impostor, and that Teddy and Bobby are endorsing JFK.
(Well, that is just as unrealistic as this!)
